Analysis
Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG (PFV) currently trades at €164.80, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €77.92, implying the stock looks roughly 52.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG generated revenue of €850M at a net margin of 7.1%. Revenue declined 0.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.0%. Net debt stands at €115M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €48.48 (bear case) to €118.04 (bull case); at €164.80, 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 share trades about 2% below its 52-week high and 10% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -53%, PFV 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 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (€114.99) versus Growth DCF (€2.84). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
