Analysis

Fuchs SE (FPE3) currently trades at €40.88, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €39.71, implying the stock looks roughly 2.9% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Fuchs SE generated revenue of €3.6B at a net margin of 8.9%. Revenue grew 1.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of €151M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €28.17 (bear case) to €49.64 (bull case); at €40.88, 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 16% below its 52-week high and 33% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -3%, FPE3 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.

Widest divergence: Multiples (€39.71) versus Asset-Based (€10.11). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
