What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (CHF 98.39). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (44/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart

Analysis
Banque Cantonale du Valais (WKBN) currently trades at CHF 160.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is CHF 78.71, implying the stock looks roughly 103.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Economic Profit group reads highest at a median of CHF 84.47 per share, and 0 of the 6 models we run sit above the CHF 160.50 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at CHF 50.20, and 6 of the 6 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Banque Cantonale du Valais generated revenue of CHF 271M at a net margin of 31.6%. Revenue declined 11.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.1%. Net debt stands at CHF 3.9B. Fundamentals as of Aug 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from CHF 59.04 (bear case) to CHF 98.39 (bull case); at CHF 160.50, 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. The share trades near its 52-week high and 36% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −10% fair-value upside, at −51%, WKBN screens richer 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 CHF 2.64 per share, which is 3.4 % 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.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit (CHF 84.47) versus Dividend Discount (CHF 50.20). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 49 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 76
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.
