Fair value as of: Jul 19, 2026
From 26 valuation models · updated 22 days ago
Share price +3.0% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 63% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($13.26). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($4.22 to $13.26). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (65/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

How to read this chart
5‑month range $12.37 – $24.56 · fair‑value band $4.22 – $13.26 · the $15.35 price screens above the $5.63 fair value. As of Jul 19, 2026.
Analysis
PayPay Corporation (PAYP) currently trades at $15.35, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.63, implying the stock looks roughly 63.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, PayPay Corporation generated revenue of $378B at a net margin of 30.5%. Revenue grew 29.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 36.0%. Net debt stands at $42.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $4.22 (bear case) to $13.26 (bull case); at $15.35, 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 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 38% below its 52-week high and 25% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -50% fair-value upside, at -63%, PAYP 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($11.31) versus Dividend Discount ($0.0238). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
