Analysis

Nexa Resources S.A (NEXA) currently trades at $14.10, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $17.02, implying the stock looks roughly 20.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Nexa Resources S.A generated revenue of $3.3B at a net margin of 6.4%. Revenue grew 41.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 24.4%. Net debt stands at $1.3B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $7.30 (bear case) to $21.28 (bull case); at $14.10, 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 17% below its 52-week high and 218% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -34% fair-value upside, at 21%, NEXA 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.
