Analysis
Metsä Board Oyj (METSB) currently trades at €3.34, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €0.7300, implying the stock looks roughly 78.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 41/100 (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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Metsä Board Oyj generated revenue of €1.7B at a net margin of -9.7%. Revenue declined 18.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -9.7%. Net debt stands at €255M. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €0.7300 (bear case) to €0.8200 (bull case); at €3.34, 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 4% below its 52-week high and 33% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -22% fair-value upside, at -78%, METSB 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 12 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based (€3.31) versus Multiples (€0.4800). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
