Root, Inc
ROOT · US
Fair value as of: Jul 13, 2026
From 6 valuation models · updated 28 days ago
Share price −22.2% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 27% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($46.71). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (53/100) 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.

Analysis
Root, Inc (ROOT) currently trades at $51.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $37.37, implying the stock looks roughly 27.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Root, Inc generated revenue of $1.6B at a net margin of 3.5%. Revenue grew 12.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $489M. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $28.03 (bear case) to $46.71 (bull case); at $51.50, 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 68% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 8% fair-value upside, at -27%, ROOT 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 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($30.46) versus Asset-Based ($15.44). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
