What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (C$22.01). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (40/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- A fairly wide model range (C$10.70 to C$22.01) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 20, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range C$9.65 – C$48.69 · fair‑value band C$10.70 – C$22.01 · the C$45.04 price screens above the C$16.35 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 3 fiscal years are left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 20, 2026.
Analysis
FM.TO (FM) currently trades at C$45.04, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$16.35, implying the stock looks roughly 175.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of C$13.13 per share, and 0 of the 13 models we run sit above the C$45.04 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at C$9.03, and 13 of the 13 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, FM.TO generated revenue of C$5.5B at a net margin of −3.7%. Revenue grew 18.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −2.1%. Net debt stands at C$5.2B. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from C$10.70 (bear case) to C$22.01 (bull case); at C$45.04, 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 3% below its 52-week high and 120% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −45% fair-value upside, at −64%, FM 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.
All 13 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (C$13.13) versus Earnings-Based (C$1.25). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (69).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 41 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 61
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.
