Analysis

J. Front Retailing Co (JFROF) currently trades at $14.65, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $13.34, implying the stock looks roughly 8.9% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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, J. Front Retailing Co generated revenue of $445B at a net margin of 6.4%. Revenue declined 7.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.6%. Net debt stands at $301B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $9.04 (bear case) to $19.04 (bull case); at $14.65, the current price sits within 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 1% below its 52-week high and 34% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 50% fair-value upside, at -9%, JFROF 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.
