Analysis
Hybrid Software Group (HYSG) currently trades at €3.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €2.59, implying the stock looks roughly 31.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 77/100 (high quality), in the Technology 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, Hybrid Software Group generated revenue of €54.4M at a net margin of 7.8%. Revenue declined 1.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.8%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of €9.9M. Fundamentals as of Aug 6, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €1.95 (bear case) to €3.24 (bull case); at €3.76, 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 12% below its 52-week high and 11% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at -31%, HYSG 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (€4.45) versus Earnings-Based (€1.05). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
