Analysis

Unitika Ltd (UNIKF) currently trades at $10.18, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.00, implying the stock looks roughly 50.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Unitika Ltd generated revenue of $119B at a net margin of 15.3%. Revenue declined 30.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 51.8%. Net debt stands at $9.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $3.20 (bear case) to $7.04 (bull case); at $10.18, 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 59% below its 52-week high, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -51%, UNIKF 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.

Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($21.31) versus Dividend Discount ($0.2131). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

Frequently asked questions

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
