Analysis

Grupo Carso, S.A. (GCARSOA1) currently trades at 127.02 MXN, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 66.21 MXN, implying the stock looks roughly 47.9% overvalued today. We read business quality at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Grupo Carso, S.A. generated revenue of 191B MXN at a net margin of 4.1%. Revenue declined 0.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.5%. Net debt stands at 13.2B MXN. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 49.66 MXN (bear case) to 82.76 MXN (bull case); at 127.02 MXN, 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 19% below its 52-week high and 12% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at -48%, GCARSOA1 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.
