Analysis

Telefónica, S.A (TEFOF) currently trades at $4.19, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $10.98, implying the stock looks roughly 162.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services 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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Telefónica, S.A generated revenue of $35.9B at a net margin of -9.5%. Revenue declined 12.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -8.9%. Net debt stands at $33.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $6.69 (bear case) to $10.98 (bull case); at $4.19, the current price sits below 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 20% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 14% fair-value upside, at 162%, TEFOF 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.

Widest divergence: DCF Models ($7.40) versus Asset-Based ($1.69). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
