What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide (€106.81 to €325.98). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (66/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Deutsche Börse AG (DB1) currently trades at €281.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €142.42, implying the stock looks roughly 97.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of €201.79 per share, and 2 of the 13 models we run sit above the €281.30 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at €41.62, and 11 of the 13 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Deutsche Börse AG generated revenue of €7.5B at a net margin of 27.3%. Revenue grew 8.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.2%. Net debt stands at €6.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 30, 2026

Our scenario range runs from €106.81 (bear case) to €325.98 (bull case); at €281.30, 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 43% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −56% fair-value upside, at −49%, DB1 screens cheaper 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 €4.78 per share, which is 3.4 % 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.
