Analysis
Gyldendal A/S (GYLD-B) currently trades at kr 368.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is kr 177.02, implying the stock looks roughly 107.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of kr 176.96 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the kr 368.00 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at kr 33.04, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Gyldendal A/S generated revenue of 799M DKK at a net margin of 5.1%. Revenue grew 13.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 36.2M DKK. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from kr 132.76 (bear case) to kr 221.27 (bull case); at kr 368.00, 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 27% below its 52-week high and 22% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at −52%, GYLD-B screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly kr 13.69 per share, which is 7.7 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (kr 176.96) versus Dividend Discount (kr 33.04). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (81).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 72 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 50
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.
