From 7 valuation models · updated 25 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 16, 2026, revised from $17.82 to $3.87 (−78.3%) since Jun 24, 2026. Share price +16.3% over the past month.

A solid business, but screening 83% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($5.51). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (50/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($2.23 to $5.51) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Fastly, Inc (FSLY) currently trades at $22.96, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $3.87, implying the stock looks roughly 83.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 50/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Fastly, Inc generated revenue of $653M at a net margin of -15.8%. Revenue grew 19.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -10.7%. Net debt stands at $250M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $2.23 (bear case) to $5.51 (bull case); at $22.96, the current price sits above 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 34% below its 52-week high and 265% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at -83%, FSLY screens richer 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.
