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.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $104.38 – $258.52 · fair‑value band $82.57 – $159.24 · the $234.20 price screens above the $125.80 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 30, 2026.
Analysis
Ametek Inc (AME) currently trades at $234.20, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $125.80, implying the stock looks roughly 86.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $134.43 per share, and 0 of the 26 models we run sit above the $234.20 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $19.84, and 26 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is 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 30, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $82.57 (bear case) to $159.24 (bull case); at $234.20, 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 4% below its 52-week high and 35% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −52% fair-value upside, at −46%, AME screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $3.61 per share, which is 2.9 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($134.43) versus Dividend Discount ($19.84). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (79).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 67 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 66
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
