What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide ($159.59 to $501.70). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (58/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Corpay Inc (CPAY) currently trades at $419.68, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $212.78, implying the stock looks roughly 97.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $349.54 per share, and 3 of the 11 models we run sit above the $419.68 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $39.81, and 8 of the 11 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Corpay Inc generated revenue of $4.8B at a net margin of 24.6%. Revenue grew 25.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 32.1%. Net debt stands at $1.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $159.59 (bear case) to $501.70 (bull case); at $419.68, 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 near its 52-week high and 66% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −32% fair-value upside, at −49%, CPAY 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 $11.35 per share, which is 5.3 % 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.
