What matters now
- The rarer combination: high quality (78/100) AND below fair value. That earns a closer look rather than a quick verdict.
- A fairly wide model range (€60.00 to €126.93) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 31, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range €55.65 – €173.07 · fair‑value band €60.00 – €126.93 · the €68.86 price screens below the €94.39 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 31, 2026.
Analysis
Wolters Kluwer N.V. (WKL) currently trades at €68.86, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is €94.39, implying the stock looks roughly 27.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 78/100 (high quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of €97.10 per share, and 12 of the 25 models we run sit above the €68.86 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at €28.10, and 13 of the 25 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Wolters Kluwer N.V. generated revenue of €6.1B at a net margin of 21.4%. Revenue grew 1.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 111.7%. Net debt stands at €4.2B. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026
Our scenario range runs from €60.00 (bear case) to €126.93 (bull case); at €68.86, 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 55% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −24% fair-value upside, at 37%, WKL 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 €2.06 per share, which is 2.2 % 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 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (€97.10) versus Asset-Based (€2.40). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 71 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 39
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.
