Herbalife soars 70% since InvestingPro’s February Fair Value alert

When InvestingPro’s Fair Value model identified Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) as significantly undervalued in February 2025, few investors were paying attention to the nutrition company. Nine months later, those who followed the signal have been rewarded with an impressive 70% return, demonstrating the power of data-driven valuation analysis in uncovering hidden opportunities. Fair Value analysis helps investors find better entry points, understand a stock’s intrinsic value, and make more informed decisions by combining multiple valuation methodologies. For investors seeking similar opportunities today, the Most undervalued list offers a curated selection of stocks our models currently identify as trading below their intrinsic value.

Herbalife , a global nutrition company specializing in weight management products, nutritional supplements, and personal care items, was experiencing challenging times when InvestingPro’s algorithms flagged it as undervalued. In February 2025, the company reported revenue of $4.99 billion and EBITDA of $589.7 million, with its stock having suffered through six months of mostly negative returns. The Fair Value model, however, looked beyond short-term volatility, calculating a Fair Value of $8.66 when the stock was trading at just $5.62 – suggesting 54% upside potential.

What followed validated InvestingPro’s analysis. From an entry price of $5.62 in February, Herbalife shares climbed steadily to reach $9.07 by November 2025, delivering a 70% return and exceeding even the model’s optimistic projection. This performance was supported by fundamental improvements, including EPS growth from $2.53 to $3.14 and EBITDA increasing to $618.2 million. The company’s financial health score of 4.19 indicated solid fundamentals despite market pessimism at the time of the initial analysis.

Recent developments have further confirmed the strength of InvestingPro’s thesis. S&P Global upgraded Herbalife’s credit rating, citing successful deleveraging efforts, while Moody’s revised its outlook to stable. The company has consistently beaten earnings expectations throughout 2025, with its Q3 results showing continued debt reduction progress. Analyst sentiment has improved significantly, with DA Davidson doubling its price target to $14 and maintaining a Buy rating, while Citi has set a $13 target. The company has also made strategic moves into personalized nutrition through acquisitions.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis succeeds by aggregating multiple valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models, comparable company analyses, and analyst consensus targets. This comprehensive approach helps identify discrepancies between market price and intrinsic value, providing investors with actionable insights before the broader market recognizes the opportunity.
