Analysis

Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo SABESP ADR (SBS) currently trades at $5.13, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $8.13, implying the stock looks roughly 36.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Utilities sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $39.45 per share, and 26 of the 26 models we run sit above the $5.13 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $8.10, and 0 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo SABESP ADR generated revenue of $39.6B at a net margin of 22.0%. Revenue grew 18.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 21.2%. Net debt stands at $35.3B. Fundamentals as of Aug 29, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $4.45 (bear case) to $9.83 (bull case); at $5.13, 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 28% below its 52-week high and 39% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at −33% fair-value upside, at 58%, SBS screens cheaper 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.
