This series of weekly articles uses eyeQ’s smart machine to highlight 10 stocks whose share price trades at either a discount or premium to eyeQ’s Model Value price (where macro conditions say the share 'should’ trade).

A minus figure in these tables indicates a share trading below eyeQ’s Model Value, implying they are ‘cheap’ versus macro conditions. A plus figure screens as rich because the current share price is above eyeQ’s Model Value.

All companies must have a model relevance above 65%, which means the macro environment is critical and any valuation signals carry strong weight.

Here are definitions of terms used in the analysis:

Model value

Where our smart machine calculates that any stock market index, single stock or exchange-traded fund (ETF) should be priced (the fair value) given the overall macroeconomic environment.

Model relevance

How confident we are in the model value. The higher the number the better! Above 65% means the macro environment is critical, so any valuation signals carry strong weight. Below 65%, we deem that something other than macro is driving the price.

Fair Value Gap (FVG)

The difference between our model value (fair value) and where the price currently is. A positive Fair Value Gap means the security is above the model value, which we refer to as “rich”. A negative FVG means that it’s cheap. The bigger the FVG, the bigger the dislocation and therefore a better entry level for trades.

Long Term model

This model looks at share prices over the last 12 months, captures the company’s relationship with growth, inflation, currency shifts, central bank policy etc and calculates our key results - model value, model relevance, Fair Value Gap.

Taylor Wimpey

UK housebuilders are this morning's big winners. The government's new "Your First Home" equity-loan scheme for first-time buyers, a version of Help to Buy by another name, has sent Taylor Wimpey (LSE:TW.) and its peers up between 13% and 17%.

The catch, from eyeQ's perspective, is that the sector was already expensive before today. On Friday's data, Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon were the two richest names on the UK list, both around 18% above macro fair value. A policy boost like this sits outside what the macro model measures, so today's jump has only stretched that gap further. Good news for first-time buyers, but for buyers of the shares, a lot now looks priced in.

BMW

The richest stock on the international list is Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (XETRA:BMW), trading more than 22% above eyeQ's fair value of €43.13. It isn't a new story either, since BMW has sat on the rich side of this list for most of September.

With macro relevance at 73%, the big-picture economy is firmly in charge of the price, and it says the shares should be lower. The carmaker has had a tough 2026, cutting its full-year outlook in June on a China slump and fallout from the Middle East conflict, yet the shares haven't fallen into line.
