What matters now
The model range is unusually wide (C$81.39 to C$217.04). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
Solid quality (64/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range C$35.87 – C$107.24 · fair‑value band C$81.39 – C$217.04 · the C$100.82 price screens below the C$147.70 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.
George Weston Limited (WN) currently trades at C$100.82, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$147.70, implying the stock looks roughly 31.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of C$101.98 per share, and 12 of the 23 models we run sit above the C$100.82 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at C$26.33, and 11 of the 23 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, George Weston Limited generated revenue of C$65.1B at a net margin of 1.8%. Revenue grew 4.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.4%. Net debt stands at C$18.1B. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026
Scenario range: C$81.39 (bear) to C$217.04 (bull), the price of C$100.82 sits inside it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 3% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at −31% fair-value upside, at 47%, WN screens cheaper than that median.
