- Our model range runs from $21.58 (bear) to $35.97 (bull), base $28.78. The closer the price sits to the lower half, the larger the margin of safety.
- Quality 60/100 (solid quality) with high evidence: the data supports the verdict.

Analysis
LendingTree, Inc (TREE) currently trades at $32.13, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $28.78, implying the stock looks roughly 10.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, LendingTree, Inc generated revenue of $1.2B at a net margin of 15.0%. Revenue grew 36.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 88.6%. Net debt stands at $359M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $21.58 (bear case) to $35.97 (bull case); at $32.13, 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 58% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -15% fair-value upside, at -10%, TREE 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.
All 13 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit ($216.05) versus Dividend Discount ($0.4600). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
