Analysis
Shake Shack Inc (SHAK) currently trades at $71.13, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $24.82, implying the stock looks roughly 65.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid 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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Shake Shack Inc generated revenue of $1.5B at a net margin of 2.8%. Revenue grew 14.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.5%. Net debt stands at $542M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $15.26 (bear case) to $31.16 (bull case); at $71.13, 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 51% below its 52-week high and 36% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -47% fair-value upside, at -65%, SHAK 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 25 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($44.55) versus Dividend Discount ($0.6800). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
