Analysis
VAT Group (VACN) currently trades at CHF 634.40, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 132.45, implying the stock looks roughly 79.1% overvalued today. We read business quality at 76/100 (high quality), in the Industrials 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, VAT Group generated revenue of CHF 1.1B at a net margin of 20.0%. Revenue grew 4.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 27.7%. Net debt stands at CHF 107M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from CHF 90.90 (bear case) to CHF 166.45 (bull case); at CHF 634.40, 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 near its 52-week high and 149% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -79%, VACN 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (CHF 159.76) versus Asset-Based (CHF 17.73). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

How we calculate Fair Value

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
