A solid business, but screening 51% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($159.24). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (69/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($82.57 to $159.24) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

AMETEK, Inc (AME) currently trades at $256.22, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $125.80, implying the stock looks roughly 50.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, AMETEK, Inc generated revenue of $7.6B at a net margin of 20.1%. Revenue grew 11.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.6%. Net debt stands at $1.8B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $82.57 (bear case) to $159.24 (bull case); at $256.22, 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 near its 52-week high and 48% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -51%, AME screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
