What matters now

• The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($26.03). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
• Solid but not exceptional quality (50/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
• A fairly wide model range ($10.77 to $26.03) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Albany International Corporation (AIN) currently trades at $62.59, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $18.40, implying the stock looks roughly 240.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 50/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $21.62 per share, and 0 of the 12 models we run sit above the $62.59 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $12.12, and 12 of the 12 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Albany International Corporation generated revenue of $1.2B at a net margin of −4.9%. Revenue grew 7.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −7.2%. Net debt stands at $343M. Fundamentals as of Aug 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $10.77 (bear case) to $26.03 (bull case); at $62.59, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 14% below its 52-week high and 54% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −26% fair-value upside, at −71%, AIN screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Widest divergence: DCF Models ($21.62) versus Dividend Discount ($12.12). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (80).
