Analysis
Qualstar Corporation (QBAK) currently trades at $2.15, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.3500, implying the stock looks roughly 83.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (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, Qualstar Corporation generated revenue of $6.4M at a net margin of -2.8%. Revenue declined 14.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -3.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $1.6M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.2500 (bear case) to $0.4600 (bull case); at $2.15, 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 69% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -65% fair-value upside, at -84%, QBAK 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 15 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($1.15) versus Earnings-Based ($0.1400). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
