Analysis

Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL (ELPC) currently trades at $12.39, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.55, implying the stock looks roughly 64.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Utilities sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $61.09 per share, and 22 of the 24 models we run sit above the $12.39 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $6.00, and 2 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL generated revenue of $27.3B at a net margin of 10.0%. Revenue grew 20.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.8%. Net debt stands at $13.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $6.09 (bear case) to $15.31 (bull case); at $12.39, 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 about 8% below its 52-week high and 84% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at −37% fair-value upside, at −39%, ELPC 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.
