What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (CHF 191.65). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (65/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range (CHF 104.19 to CHF 191.65) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Kuehne & Nagel (KNIN) currently trades at CHF 211.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 147.92, implying the stock looks roughly 42.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of CHF 167.60 per share, and 2 of the 25 models we run sit above the CHF 211.30 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at CHF 50.53, and 23 of the 25 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Kuehne & Nagel generated revenue of CHF 23.7B at a net margin of 3.5%. Revenue declined 11.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 32.3%. Net debt stands at CHF 3.2B. Fundamentals as of Aug 29, 2026

Our scenario range runs from CHF 104.19 (bear case) to CHF 191.65 (bull case); at CHF 211.30, 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 48% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −2% fair-value upside, at −30%, KNIN 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 CHF 0.6998 per share, which is 0.5 % 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.
