What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (A$34.32). 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.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB) currently trades at A$39.25, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$27.45, implying the stock looks roughly 43.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of A$28.70 per share, and 0 of the 4 models we run sit above the A$39.25 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at A$13.77, and 4 of the 4 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, National Australia Bank Ltd generated revenue of A$20.6B at a net margin of 29.7%. Revenue grew 8.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.9%. Net debt stands at A$290B. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$20.59 (bear case) to A$34.32 (bull case); at A$39.25, 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 11% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −8% fair-value upside, at −30%, NAB screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 11 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly A$0.2786 per share, which is 1.0 % 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 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (A$28.70) versus Asset-Based (A$13.77). Highest evidence: Residual Income (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 47 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 49
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.
