Analysis
IMCD N.V (IMCD) currently trades at €97.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €77.40, implying the stock looks roughly 21.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, IMCD N.V generated revenue of €4.8B at a net margin of 4.5%. Revenue declined 1.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.2%. Net debt stands at €1.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €45.48 (bear case) to €96.75 (bull case); at €97.94, 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 19% below its 52-week high and 46% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -68% fair-value upside, at -21%, IMCD screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (€82.75) versus Asset-Based (€23.16). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
