What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide ($72.92 to $232.89). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Wex Inc (WEX) currently trades at $195.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $141.95, implying the stock looks roughly 37.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $179.15 per share, and 6 of the 24 models we run sit above the $195.00 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $23.86, and 18 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Wex Inc generated revenue of $2.7B at a net margin of 11.5%. Revenue grew 5.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 29.8%. Net debt stands at $4.0B. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $72.92 (bear case) to $232.89 (bull case); at $195.00, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades near its 52-week high and 47% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −32% fair-value upside, at −27%, WEX screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $5.83 per share, which is 4.1 % 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.

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.
