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.

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.

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.
