Analysis

Holcim AG (HCMLY) currently trades at $17.49, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $9.03, implying the stock looks roughly 48.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid 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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Holcim AG generated revenue of $15.7B at a net margin of 83.8%. Revenue declined 3.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 2.1%. Net debt stands at $4.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $8.07 (bear case) to $11.28 (bull case); at $17.49, 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 16% below its 52-week high and 30% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -59% fair-value upside, at -48%, HCMLY 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.
