What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (37/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (R33.63). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • A fairly wide model range (R33.63 to R63.88) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
  • As a real-estate business, asset- and dividend-based methods carry more weight here than a standard DCF.

Analysis

Fairvest Ltd (FTA) currently trades at R19.78, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is R48.75, implying the stock looks roughly 59.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average quality), in the Real Estate sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of R267.96 per share, and 9 of the 9 models we run sit above the R19.78 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at R106.72, and 0 of the 9 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Fairvest Ltd generated revenue of 2.6B ZAR at a net margin of 62.3%. Revenue grew 22.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.9%. Net debt stands at 3.8B ZAR. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from R33.63 (bear case) to R63.88 (bull case); at R19.78, the current price sits below 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. For context, the median of 10 Real Estate peers we cover trades at −51% fair-value upside, at 146%, FTA screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 11 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly 0.3557 ZAR per share, which is 0.7 % 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.

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.
