What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (R317.80). 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 (R152.29 to R317.80) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Naspers Limited (NPN) currently trades at R753.92, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is R208.07, implying the stock looks roughly 262.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of R119.43 per share, and 0 of the 22 models we run sit above the R753.92 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at R20.93, and 22 of the 22 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Naspers Limited generated revenue of 7.9B ZAR at a net margin of 72.7%. Revenue grew 19.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 25.8%. Net debt stands at 11.3B ZAR. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from R152.29 (bear case) to R317.80 (bull case); at R753.92, 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. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −50% fair-value upside, at −72%, NPN screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly 48.38 ZAR per share, which is 23.3 % 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.

Note: the current price implies far more future growth than the conservative anchors of our models allow (base growth is deliberately capped, we do not regard such extreme rates as sustainable). Our models are not designed for expectations this high; that is why the individual models scatter extremely (R2.23 to R187.02). Read the values as a conservative anchor, not as a price target.
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.
