- A fairly wide model range ($60.75 to $111.29) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Lakefront Biotherapeutics NV (LKFT) currently trades at $27.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $81.00, implying the stock looks roughly 200.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Lakefront Biotherapeutics NV generated revenue of $1.0B at a net margin of 46.8%. It earns a return on equity of 16.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $81.0M. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 3.3. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $60.75 (bear case) to $111.29 (bull case); at $27.00, 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. The share trades about 29% below its 52-week high and 2% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -43% fair-value upside, at 200%, LKFT 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.
All 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($219.74) versus Asset-Based ($32.92). Highest evidence: Growth-Adj P/E (68).
