Fair value as of: Jul 16, 2026
From 11 valuation models · updated 25 days ago
Fair value updated Jul 16, 2026, revised from $7.33 to $7.31 (−0.3%) since Jun 24, 2026. Share price −11.9% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 50% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($10.90). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (38/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The model range is unusually wide ($3.72 to $10.90). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis
Green Plains Inc (GPRE) currently trades at $14.65, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.31, implying the stock looks roughly 50.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 38/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Green Plains Inc generated revenue of $1.9B at a net margin of -0.8%. Revenue declined 25.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -1.9%. Net debt stands at $326M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $3.72 (bear case) to $10.90 (bull case); at $14.65, 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 23% below its 52-week high and 173% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -50%, GPRE 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.
All 11 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($9.40) versus Dividend Discount ($0.1000). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
