What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($26.05). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (56/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$101.70 $25.16 Fair Value $23.19 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $25.16 – $101.70 · fair‑value band $19.80 – $26.05 · the $61.51 price screens above the $23.19 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.

Analysis

ManpowerGroup Inc (MAN) currently trades at $61.51, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $23.19, implying the stock looks roughly 165.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $83.40 per share, and 3 of the 8 models we run sit above the $61.51 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $14.23, and 5 of the 8 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, ManpowerGroup Inc generated revenue of $18.4B at a net margin of −0.1%. Revenue grew 10.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −0.8%. Net debt stands at $1.5B. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $19.80 (bear case) to $26.05 (bull case); at $61.51, 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 150% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 22% fair-value upside, at −62%, MAN screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

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.
