Rand Capital Corporation (RAND) Fair Value & Analysis

Rand Capital Corporation
RAND · US
Fair value as of: Jul 27, 2026
From 2 valuation models · updated 14 days ago
Share price −0.1% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 63% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($4.53). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (52/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $5.43 – $24.58 · fair‑value band $3.00 – $4.53 · the $10.29 price screens above the $3.77 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 27, 2026.
Analysis
Rand Capital Corporation (RAND) currently trades at $10.29, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $3.77, implying the stock looks roughly 63.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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).
Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at $5.7M. Revenue declined 38.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -15.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $4.2M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $3.00 (bear case) to $4.53 (bull case); at $10.29, 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 42% below its 52-week high and 8% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at -63%, RAND 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 2 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($65.70) versus Asset-Based ($11.77). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
