Analysis
Kuraray Co (KURRY) currently trades at $34.22, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $18.38, implying the stock looks roughly 46.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Kuraray Co generated revenue of $815B at a net margin of 0.4%. Revenue grew 3.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 0.7%. Net debt stands at $181B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $12.32 (bear case) to $24.16 (bull case); at $34.22, 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 9% below its 52-week high and 22% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -46%, KURRY 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 20 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($32.56) versus Earnings-Based ($2.64). Highest evidence: ROIC Compounder (72).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
