This score blends growth quality, financial health, and price attractiveness into a single institutional-grade read.
The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 12.2x, below its 5-year median of 14.3x. The PEG ratio of 0.85 suggests earnings growth is outpacing the multiple, a classic sign of undervaluation.

Our discounted cash flow model estimates ALV's intrinsic value at $121.06 per share, against the current market price of $113.31. This implies a premium to fair value of -4.50%. The stock is priced close to its estimated fair value, offering limited upside without further operational improvement.
The Piotroski F-Score of 5/9 puts financial quality in a middling range, neither a standout strength nor an obvious red flag.
Bottom line: ALV trades at a fair valuation on our framework, with a Smart Value Score of 60/100. The valuation is defensible but offers no obvious bargain. Patience or a better entry price may reward disciplined buyers.
