Below-average quality, and screening another 81% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($6.98). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (37/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The model range is unusually wide ($0.5280 to $6.98). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis
Utz Brands, Inc (UTZ) currently trades at $14.11, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2.64, implying the stock looks roughly 81.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, Utz Brands, Inc generated revenue of $1.4B at a net margin of -0.6%. Revenue grew 2.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -1.2%. Net debt stands at $1.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 7, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.5280 (bear case) to $6.98 (bull case); at $14.11, 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 1% below its 52-week high and 110% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at -81%, UTZ 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 18 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($75.03) versus Earnings-Based ($0.8337). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
