What matters now

  • The price is below even our cautious bear case ($40.12). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • Solid quality (51/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
  • A fairly wide model range ($40.12 to $76.47) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

World Kinect Corporation (WKC) currently trades at $36.43, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $58.29, implying the stock looks roughly 60.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, World Kinect Corporation generated revenue of $37.1B at a net margin of -1.5%. Revenue grew 2.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -36.0%. Net debt stands at $504M. Fundamentals as of Jul 25, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $40.12 (bear case) to $76.47 (bull case); at $36.43, the current price sits below 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 65% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at 60%, WKC 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.
