Fair value as of: Jul 16, 2026

From 3 valuation models · updated 25 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 16, 2026, revised from 0.3000 PLN to 0.6000 PLN (+100.0%) since Jun 25, 2026. Share price −2.0% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 40% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (0.7600 PLN). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (38/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • A fairly wide model range (0.4000 PLN to 0.7600 PLN) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Polwax S.A (PWX) currently trades at 1.00 PLN, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 0.6000 PLN, implying the stock looks roughly 40.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 38/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Polwax S.A generated revenue of 130M PLN at a net margin of -9.3%. Revenue declined 26.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -21.6%. Net debt stands at 23.7M PLN. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 0.4000 PLN (bear case) to 0.7600 PLN (bull case); at 1.00 PLN, 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 38% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -40%, PWX 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
