Analysis

Fortescue Ltd (FMG) currently trades at A$18.45, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$18.62, implying the stock looks roughly 0.9% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Fortescue Ltd generated revenue of A$16.3B at a net margin of 22.9%. Revenue grew 10.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.7%. Net debt stands at A$1.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026

Our scenario range runs from A$13.97 (bear case) to A$23.28 (bull case); at A$18.45, 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 20% below its 52-week high and 37% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -36% fair-value upside, at 1%, FMG 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.
