Analysis
Yduqs Participações S.A (YDUQ3) currently trades at R$7.96, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is R$15.69, implying the stock looks roughly 97.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Yduqs Participações S.A generated revenue of R$5.5B at a net margin of 2.1%. Revenue grew 1.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.8%. Net debt stands at R$4.7B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from R$11.77 (bear case) to R$19.61 (bull case); at R$7.96, 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 about 53% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 17% fair-value upside, at 97%, YDUQ3 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (R$30.89) versus Earnings-Based (R$6.51). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
