Analysis
KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA (KWS) currently trades at €77.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €103.49, implying the stock looks roughly 25.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of €127.06 per share, and 12 of the 26 models we run sit above the €77.30 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at €13.45, and 14 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA generated revenue of €1.7B at a net margin of 9.0%. Revenue grew 1.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.0%. Net debt stands at €110M. Fundamentals as of Sep 1, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €61.57 (bear case) to €156.14 (bull case); at €77.30, the current price sits within 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 4% below its 52-week high and 43% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at 34%, KWS screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 12 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly €3.51 per share, which is 3.4 % 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 (€127.06) versus Dividend Discount (€13.45). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 64 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 72
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.
