Analysis
Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A (MN) currently trades at €2.15, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €3.46, implying the stock looks roughly 60.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services 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, Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S.p.A generated revenue of €938M at a net margin of 5.4%. Revenue grew 3.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.6%. Net debt stands at €75.0M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €2.51 (bear case) to €5.08 (bull case); at €2.15, 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 near its 52-week high and 20% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at 61%, MN 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
