What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (€16.03). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (53/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range (€8.23 to €16.03) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Kesko Oyj (KESKOA) currently trades at €22.05, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €11.62, implying the stock looks roughly 89.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of €17.26 per share, and 2 of the 24 models we run sit above the €22.05 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at €4.71, and 22 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Kesko Oyj generated revenue of €12.7B at a net margin of 3.2%. Revenue grew 7.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.3%. Net debt stands at €3.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €8.23 (bear case) to €16.03 (bull case); at €22.05, 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 near its 52-week high and 28% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at −16% fair-value upside, at −47%, KESKOA screens richer 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 €0.0883 per share, which is 0.8 % 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (€17.26) versus Asset-Based (€4.71). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (78).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 51 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 71
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.
