Below-average quality, screening 60% undervalued on our models.
What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (42/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The price is below even our cautious bear case ($35.67). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- A fairly wide model range ($35.67 to $72.55) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Honda Motor Co (HMC) currently trades at $31.82, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $50.91, implying the stock looks roughly 60.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 42/100 (below-average 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: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Honda Motor Co generated revenue of $21.8T at a net margin of -2.0%. Revenue grew 8.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -2.9%. Net debt stands at $8.4T. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $35.67 (bear case) to $72.55 (bull case); at $31.82, 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 4% below its 52-week high and 37% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 25% fair-value upside, at 60%, HMC 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 11 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($37.99) versus Multiples ($25.55). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
