How to read this chart

60‑month range CHF 14.86 – CHF 51.42 · fair‑value band CHF 15.50 – CHF 38.89 · the CHF 24.16 price screens above the CHF 24.15 fair value.

Analysis

Adecco Group AG Class N (ADEN) currently trades at CHF 24.16, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 24.15, implying the stock looks roughly 0.0% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of CHF 28.93 per share, and 14 of the 24 models we run sit above the CHF 24.16 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at CHF 11.80, and 10 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Adecco Group AG Class N generated revenue of CHF 23.2B at a net margin of 1.3%. Revenue grew 1.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.6%. Net debt stands at CHF 3.1B. Fundamentals as of Sep 1, 2026

Our scenario range runs from CHF 15.50 (bear case) to CHF 38.89 (bull case); at CHF 24.16, 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 7% below its 52-week high and 66% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 22% fair-value upside, at 0%, ADEN screens richer 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 CHF 1.19 per share, which is 4.9 % 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.
