Analysis

Corteva Inc (CTVA) currently trades at $88.62, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $27.81, implying the stock looks roughly 218.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Growth DCF group reads highest at a median of $50.11 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the $88.62 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $9.18, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Corteva Inc generated revenue of $17.9B at a net margin of 6.5%. Revenue grew 11.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $1.9B. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $20.86 (bear case) to $34.76 (bull case); at $88.62, 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 near its 52-week high and 47% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at −69%, CTVA 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 $0.7678 per share, which is 2.8 % 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.
