Analysis

Mainfreight Limited (MFGHF) currently trades at $40.61, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $28.08, implying the stock looks roughly 30.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Mainfreight Limited generated revenue of $5.4B at a net margin of 4.7%. Revenue grew 3.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.1%. Net debt stands at $1.3B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $18.76 (bear case) to $38.28 (bull case); at $40.61, 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 1% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -11% fair-value upside, at -31%, MFGHF 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.
