What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (kr 17.32). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (42/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The model range is unusually wide (kr 5.24 to kr 17.32). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

Volvo Car AB (VOLCAR-B) currently trades at kr 18.86, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is kr 10.90, implying the stock looks roughly 73.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 42/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of kr 39.84 per share, and 12 of the 26 models we run sit above the kr 18.86 price. Bear case: the Growth Earnings group reads lowest at kr 1.18, and 14 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Volvo Car AB generated revenue of 347B SEK at a net margin of 0.2%. Revenue declined 12.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −2.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 19.8B SEK. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from kr 5.24 (bear case) to kr 17.32 (bull case); at kr 18.86, 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 48% below its 52-week high and 18% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −17% fair-value upside, at −42%, VOLCAR-B screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly kr 0.1359 per share, which is 1.2 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
