Mativ Holdings (MATV) Fair Value & Analysis

Basic Materials · US · Market cap $437M

Below-average quality, screening 60% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

• The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (38/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
• The model range is unusually wide ($8.86 to $28.64). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

Mativ Holdings (MATV) currently trades at $12.89, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $20.62, implying the stock looks roughly 60.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 38/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Mativ Holdings generated revenue of $2.0B at a net margin of 3.9%. Revenue declined 1.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.0%. Net debt stands at $1.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $8.86 (bear case) to $28.64 (bull case); at $12.89, 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 15% below its 52-week high and 119% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at 60%, MATV 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.

Widest divergence: Multiples ($17.29) versus Growth DCF ($4.31). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
