Fair value as of: Aug 7, 2026
From 10 valuation models · updated 3 days ago
Share price +17.5% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 97% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($1.63). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (41/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The model range is unusually wide ($0.4080 to $1.63). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis
The RealReal, Inc (REAL) currently trades at $12.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.4080, implying the stock looks roughly 96.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 41/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, The RealReal, Inc generated revenue of $723M at a net margin of -9.0%. Revenue grew 18.5% year over year. Net debt stands at $312M. Fundamentals as of Aug 7, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.4080 (bear case) to $1.63 (bull case); at $12.30, 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 29% below its 52-week high and 162% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -41% fair-value upside, at -97%, REAL 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 10 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($94.50) versus Multiples ($0.4800). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
