What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (CHF 117.98). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (59/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range (CHF 48.38 to CHF 117.98) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range CHF 59.41 – CHF 187.80 · fair‑value band CHF 48.38 – CHF 117.98 · the CHF 168.80 price screens above the CHF 78.69 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 19, 2026.
Analysis
Inficon Holding (IFCN) currently trades at CHF 168.80, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 78.69, implying the stock looks roughly 114.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of CHF 92.10 per share, and 0 of the 26 models we run sit above the CHF 168.80 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at CHF 11.68, and 26 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Inficon Holding generated revenue of CHF 674M at a net margin of 12.7%. Revenue declined 0.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 21.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of CHF 81.2M. Fundamentals as of Aug 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from CHF 48.38 (bear case) to CHF 117.98 (bull case); at CHF 168.80, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades near its 52-week high and 88% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −55% fair-value upside, at −53%, IFCN 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 CHF 0.2152 per share, which is 0.3 % 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (CHF 92.10) versus Asset-Based (CHF 11.68). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 61 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 70
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.
