What matters now
- The rarer combination: high quality (75/100) AND below fair value. That earns a closer look rather than a quick verdict.
- A fairly wide model range (R622.83 to R1,375) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range R101.03 – R915.73 · fair‑value band R622.83 – R1,375 · the R758.44 price screens below the R1,004 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 20, 2026.
Analysis
Gold Fields Ltd (GFI) currently trades at R758.44, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is R1,004, implying the stock looks roughly 32.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 75/100 (high 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, Gold Fields Ltd generated revenue of 8.8B ZAR at a net margin of 40.8%. Revenue grew 71.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 51.9%. Net debt stands at 1.8B ZAR. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from R622.83 (bear case) to R1,375 (bull case); at R758.44, 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. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -9% fair-value upside, at 32%, GFI 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (R75.60) versus Asset-Based (R6.28). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 74 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 56
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
