What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($10.42). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (32/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Circle Internet Group, Inc. (CRCL) currently trades at $103.23, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $8.34, implying the stock looks roughly 1,137.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 32/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. How firm this estimate is: it rests on 8 models at a data quality of 95/100, which puts the evidence level at low.

Over the trailing twelve months, Circle Internet Group, Inc. generated revenue of $2.9B at a net margin of −2.8%. Revenue grew 20.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −3.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $77.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $6.26 (bear case) to $10.42 (bull case); at $103.23, the current price sits above 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 65% below its 52-week high and 107% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −37% fair-value upside, at −92%, CRCL screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

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.
