Analysis
Gyldendal ASA (GYL) currently trades at kr 460.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is kr 728.27, implying the stock looks roughly 58.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services 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, Gyldendal ASA generated revenue of 2.9B NOK at a net margin of 2.8%. Revenue grew 7.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.7%. Net debt stands at 353M NOK. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026
Our scenario range runs from kr 507.91 (bear case) to kr 948.64 (bull case); at kr 460.00, the current price sits below 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 8% below its 52-week high and 17% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at 58%, GYL 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 25 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (kr 1,338) versus Dividend Discount (kr 43.77). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
