Analysis
PLAID,Inc. (PLDIF) currently trades at $3.15, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $3.32, implying the stock looks roughly 5.4% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 71/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, PLAID,Inc. generated revenue of $14.6B at a net margin of 5.3%. Revenue grew 21.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $4.8B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $2.49 (bear case) to $4.15 (bull case); at $3.15, 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 63% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at 5%, PLDIF 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 ($5.73) versus Asset-Based ($0.4843). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
