Analysis

Fresenius Medical Care AG (FME) currently trades at €41.88, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €39.20, implying the stock looks roughly 6.4% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Fresenius Medical Care AG generated revenue of €19.4B at a net margin of 4.9%. Revenue declined 5.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.9%. Net debt stands at €12.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €25.54 (bear case) to €55.08 (bull case); at €41.88, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 14% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at -6%, FME screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
