What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (CHF 147.65). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (56/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range (CHF 67.67 to CHF 147.65) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

60‑month range CHF 170.00 – CHF 392.00 · fair‑value band CHF 67.67 – CHF 147.65 · the CHF 266.50 price screens above the CHF 86.03 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 30, 2026.
Analysis
Dottikon Es Holding AG (DESN) currently trades at CHF 266.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 86.03, implying the stock looks roughly 209.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of CHF 119.64 per share, and 0 of the 24 models we run sit above the CHF 266.50 price. Bear case: the Growth DCF group reads lowest at CHF 40.92, and 24 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Dottikon Es Holding AG generated revenue of CHF 433M at a net margin of 27.9%. Revenue grew 25.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.4%. Net debt stands at CHF 10.0M. Fundamentals as of Aug 30, 2026
Our scenario range runs from CHF 67.67 (bear case) to CHF 147.65 (bull case); at CHF 266.50, 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 33% below its 52-week high and 4% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −48% fair-value upside, at −68%, DESN screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly CHF 3.22 per share, which is 3.7 % 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.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (CHF 119.64) versus Growth DCF (CHF 40.92). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (78).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 56 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 33
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.
