  • The model range is unusually wide ($237.12 to $748.16). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid quality (56/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Analysis

Group 1 Automotive, Inc (GPI) currently trades at $266.47, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $588.31, implying the stock looks roughly 120.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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, Group 1 Automotive, Inc generated revenue of $22.5B at a net margin of 1.5%. Revenue declined 1.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.2%. Net debt stands at $5.8B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $237.12 (bear case) to $748.16 (bull case); at $266.47, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 45% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at 121%, GPI 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.
