Analysis

Qiagen N.V (QGEN) currently trades at $42.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $38.93, implying the stock looks roughly 8.0% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 78/100 (high quality), in the Healthcare 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, Qiagen N.V generated revenue of $2.1B at a net margin of 19.2%. Revenue grew 1.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.9%. Net debt stands at $815M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $24.14 (bear case) to $49.65 (bull case); at $42.30, 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 27% below its 52-week high and 30% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -8%, QGEN 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.
