What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide (8,078 HUF to 24,204 HUF). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (54/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Bayer Aktiengesellschaft (BAYER) currently trades at 17,685 HUF, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 14,810 HUF, implying the stock looks roughly 16.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Healthcare sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Bayer Aktiengesellschaft generated revenue of 45.2B HUF at a net margin of -4.8%. Revenue declined 2.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -6.9%. Net debt stands at 28.5B HUF. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 8,078 HUF (bear case) to 24,204 HUF (bull case); at 17,685 HUF, 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 5% below its 52-week high and 77% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Healthcare peers we cover trades at -20% fair-value upside, at -16%, BAYER 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.

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
