What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (A$17.80). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide (A$5.66 to A$17.80). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (62/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
Woolworths Group Ltd (WOW) currently trades at A$40.32, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is A$8.33, implying the stock looks roughly 384.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Growth DCF group reads highest at a median of A$20.27 per share, and 0 of the 20 models we run sit above the A$40.32 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at A$2.67, and 20 of the 20 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Woolworths Group Ltd generated revenue of A$70.3B at a net margin of 0.9%. Revenue grew 3.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.9%. Net debt stands at A$16.1B. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026
Our scenario range runs from A$5.66 (bear case) to A$17.80 (bull case); at A$40.32, 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 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 60% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at −16% fair-value upside, at −79%, WOW screens richer 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.
All 20 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF (A$20.27) versus Asset-Based (A$2.67). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (79).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 60 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 83
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.
