  • The model range is unusually wide (A$5.81 to A$22.90). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

Qantas Airways Limited (QAN) currently trades at A$10.07, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$13.67, implying the stock looks roughly 35.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Qantas Airways Limited generated revenue of A$24.6B at a net margin of 6.5%. Revenue grew 6.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 153.6%. Net debt stands at A$5.7B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from A$5.81 (bear case) to A$22.90 (bull case); at A$10.07, 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 16% below its 52-week high and 27% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 29% fair-value upside, at 36%, QAN screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.

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
