Valuation
Valuation signal
Possible value trapClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $85.00 and expensive above $198.34 (uncertainty high, one part of the fair value is more than twice the other).
The two parts of the fair value come to $173.66 (cash-flow model) and $64.35 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 7.1%. At 8.1% the fair value would be $104.01, at 6.1% it would be $141.54.
Possible value trap: looks cheap, but weak growth.

“For the continued operations of Continental, we now expect consolidated sales of around EUR 13.2 billion to EUR 14.2 billion and an adjusted EBIT margin of around 12% to 13.5%, coming from unchanged assumption in our Tires business plus the holding costs on top.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
