Why Melexis Stock Is Back In Focus After Q3 2026

Most Popular Narrative: 70% Overvalued

Melexis last closed at €53.40, while the most followed valuation narrative, according to StoxEurope, puts fair value at €31.49 per share. That gap frames the current debate around how much optimism is already embedded in the price.

The StoxEurope estimate for Melexis is €31,49 per share, as at 25 September 2026. The share price that day was €66,80.

The estimate comes from the primary model, a discounted cash flow of the whole business. That model was chosen for this company before any value was computed. Across three scenarios it gives:

• Downside: the downturn lingers: €22,82

• Base: the guided recovery holds: €31,49

• Upside: the business moves back towards its 2023 peak: €40,85
