  • A high-quality business (quality 70/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($99.06). The favourable scenario is already priced in.

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$183.26 $110.77 Fair Value $78.52 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 3, 2026.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $110.77 – $183.26 · fair‑value band $57.97 – $99.06 · the $171.74 price screens above the $78.52 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.

Analysis

Balchem Corporation (BCPC) currently trades at $171.74, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $78.52, implying the stock looks roughly 118.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of $127.28 per share, and 1 of the 26 models we run sit above the $171.74 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $13.32, and 25 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Balchem Corporation generated revenue of $1.1B at a net margin of 15.0%. Revenue grew 8.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.7%. Net debt stands at $117M. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $57.97 (bear case) to $99.06 (bull case); at $171.74, 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 7% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −58% fair-value upside, at −54%, BCPC 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 $2.65 per share, which is 3.4 % 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.

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

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.
