What matters now

- Solid quality (61/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- A fairly wide model range (C$32.27 to C$62.89) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Maple Leaf Foods Inc (MFI) currently trades at C$28.36, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$48.31, implying the stock looks roughly 70.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, Maple Leaf Foods Inc generated revenue of C$4.0B at a net margin of 13.6%. Revenue grew 6.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.1%. Net debt stands at C$1.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from C$32.27 (bear case) to C$62.89 (bull case); at C$28.36, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 11% below its 52-week high and 29% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at 70%, MFI 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 22 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (C$69.16) versus Asset-Based (C$7.11). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
