What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case ($0.1194). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- The model range is unusually wide ($0.1194 to $0.4408). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid quality (58/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Analysis
Fortran Corporation (FRTN) currently trades at $0.1100, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.1584, implying the stock looks roughly 44.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services 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, Fortran Corporation generated revenue of $3.4M at a net margin of -2.2%. Revenue declined 58.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -21.1%. Net debt stands at $2.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 29, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.1194 (bear case) to $0.4408 (bull case); at $0.1100, the current price sits below 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 45% below its 52-week high and 267% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 32% fair-value upside, at 44%, FRTN 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.
All 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($0.3700) versus Growth DCF ($0.0700). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
