What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($3.81). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (34/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • A fairly wide model range ($1.90 to $3.81) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Klarna Group plc (KLAR) currently trades at $14.41, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2.55, implying the stock looks roughly 465.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 34/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. How firm this estimate is: it rests on 1 models at a data quality of 93/100, which puts the evidence level at low.

Over the trailing twelve months, Klarna Group plc generated revenue of $3.8B at a net margin of −5.2%. Revenue grew 44.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −7.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $2.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $1.90 (bear case) to $3.81 (bull case); at $14.41, 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 75% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −48% fair-value upside, at −82%, KLAR screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

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

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
