Share price −3.7% over the past month.

Below-average quality, screening 154% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price is below even our cautious bear case ($0.4600). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid quality (46/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
  • A fairly wide model range ($0.4600 to $0.8500) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Innovative Food Holdings (IVFH) currently trades at $0.2600, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.6600, implying the stock looks roughly 153.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 46/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: low), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Innovative Food Holdings generated revenue of $57.8M at a net margin of 0.4%. Revenue declined 37.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 32.8%. Net debt stands at $6.6M. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $0.4600 (bear case) to $0.8500 (bull case); at $0.2600, 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. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at 154%, IVFH 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
