Marlon
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Marlon's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-2.3M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.6M-2.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.6M-1.8M. Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
