From 26 valuation models · updated 22 days ago
Share price −5.5% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 33% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- Weak quality (42/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The model range is unusually wide ($4.58 to $15.43). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $6.73 – $70.74 · fair‑value band $4.58 – $15.43 · the $9.63 price screens above the $6.42 fair value. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 19, 2026.
Analysis
Live Ventures Incorporated (LIVE) currently trades at $9.63, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $6.42, implying the stock looks roughly 33.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 42/100 (below-average 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, Live Ventures Incorporated generated revenue of $438M at a net margin of 0.9%. Revenue declined 3.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.3%. Net debt stands at $208M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $4.58 (bear case) to $15.43 (bull case); at $9.63, 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 62% below its 52-week high and 37% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -21% fair-value upside, at -33%, LIVE 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($229.59) versus Dividend Discount ($1.16). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
