A solid business, but screening 34% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide (kr 305.52 to kr 1,096). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Carlsberg A/S (CARL-B) currently trades at kr 916.20, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is kr 607.30, implying the stock looks roughly 33.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Carlsberg A/S generated revenue of 89.1B DKK at a net margin of 6.7%. Revenue grew 18.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 22.8%. Net debt stands at 63.3B DKK. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from kr 305.52 (bear case) to kr 1,096 (bull case); at kr 916.20, 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 28% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at -34%, CARL-B screens richer 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
