What matters now
- The price sits close to our fair value, market and models broadly agree here, little valuation tension.
- The price sits in the upper half of our model range, so the margin of safety is thin.
- Read the verdict with care: some models are missing inputs, so the estimate scatters more than usual.
Price vs Fair Value (3 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 26, 2026.
How to read this chart
32‑month range 20.00 SAR – 79.90 SAR · fair‑value band 14.43 SAR – 24.05 SAR · the 20.16 SAR price screens above the 19.24 SAR fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 26, 2026.
Analysis
MBC Group Co. (4072) currently trades at 20.16 SAR, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 19.24 SAR, implying the stock looks roughly 4.8% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of 37.93 SAR per share, and 6 of the 15 models we run sit above the 20.16 SAR price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 9.17 SAR, and 9 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, MBC Group Co. generated revenue of 4.9B SAR at a net margin of 7.1%. Revenue declined 22.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.5%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 1.3B SAR. Fundamentals as of Aug 26, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 14.43 SAR (bear case) to 24.05 SAR (bull case); at 20.16 SAR, the current price sits within 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 47% below its 52-week high and 1% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −8% fair-value upside, at −5%, 4072 screens cheaper 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 0.7105 SAR per share, which is 3.7 % 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.
All 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (37.93 SAR) versus Asset-Based (9.17 SAR). Highest evidence: EPV (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 43 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 31
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.
