Analysis
Metro Inc (MRU) currently trades at C$90.31, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$94.01, implying the stock looks roughly 4.1% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 62/100 (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, Metro Inc generated revenue of C$22.2B at a net margin of 4.4%. Revenue grew 3.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.9%. Net debt stands at C$4.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from C$54.06 (bear case) to C$126.56 (bull case); at C$90.31, 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 4% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -32% fair-value upside, at 4%, MRU 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (C$82.29) versus Asset-Based (C$22.32). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
