Find out why CorMedix's 6.6% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.
A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a business is worth today by forecasting the cash it could generate in the future and discounting those cash flows back to the present.
For CorMedix, the latest twelve month free cash flow is about $73.9 Million. Analysts and internal projections see this rising materially over time, with free cash flow expected to reach roughly $238.9 Million by 2035. The early years of the forecast are based on analyst estimates, while the later years are extrapolated by Simply Wall St using a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity framework that tapers growth as the business matures.
When all those future cash flows are discounted back, the model produces an estimated intrinsic value of about $63.07 per share. Compared with the current share price around $10, the DCF implies CorMedix is trading at an 83.6% discount to its calculated fair value, which indicates potential upside if the projected cash flow ramp occurs.
Result: UNDERVALUED
Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests CorMedix is undervalued by 83.6%. Track this in your watchlist or portfolio, or discover 917 more undervalued stocks based on cash flows.
For profitable companies like CorMedix, the price to earnings, or PE, ratio is a straightforward way to gauge how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of current earnings. A higher PE typically reflects stronger growth expectations and lower perceived risk, while a lower PE can signal either modest growth prospects or elevated uncertainty.
CorMedix currently trades at about 5.00x earnings, well below the Pharmaceuticals industry average of roughly 20.03x and also below the broader peer group average of about 23.15x. On the surface, that kind of discount suggests the market is cautious about the company’s outlook or risk profile.
Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio framework refines this comparison by estimating what a “normal” PE should be for CorMedix, given its earnings growth, margins, industry, market cap, and risk factors. For CorMedix, that Fair Ratio comes out to around 17.25x, which is far more tailored than a simple industry or peer comparison. Because the current PE of 5.00x sits well below this Fair Ratio, this multiple-based view also points to the shares being materially undervalued at today’s price.
Result: UNDERVALUED

Earlier we mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation, so let us introduce you to Narratives, which are simply your story about CorMedix, where you spell out what you think will happen to its revenue, earnings, and margins, and then connect that story to a financial forecast and a fair value that you can compare with today’s share price. On Simply Wall St’s Community page, millions of investors use Narratives as an easy, visual tool to turn their view of a company into numbers, see whether it looks undervalued or overvalued, and decide if that means buy, hold, or sell. Because Narratives update dynamically when new information arrives, such as Q3 sales surprises, Phase III trial results, or changes to the $19 fair value estimate and related assumptions, your view of CorMedix can evolve in real time. For example, one investor might build a bullish CorMedix Narrative around faster revenue growth, stronger margins, and a higher future PE that justifies a fair value well above $23, while another might emphasize execution, integration, and debt risks and land closer to $17. Yet both can clearly see how their assumptions lead to a specific fair value and compare it to the current price.
