What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (37/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The model range is unusually wide ($6.96 to $18.68). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

60‑month range $3.11 – $11.97 · fair‑value band $6.96 – $18.68 · the $8.94 price screens below the $12.82 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Custom Truck One Source Inc (CTOS) currently trades at $8.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $12.82, implying the stock looks roughly 30.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $3.49 per share, and 1 of the 4 models we run sit above the $8.94 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $2.38, and 3 of the 4 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Custom Truck One Source Inc generated revenue of $2.0B at a net margin of −0.9%. Revenue grew 9.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −2.2%. Net debt stands at $2.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $6.96 (bear case) to $18.68 (bull case); at $8.94, the current price sits within 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 13% below its 52-week high and 94% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −19% fair-value upside, at 43%, CTOS screens cheaper 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.
All 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($3.49) versus Asset-Based ($2.38). Highest evidence: EV/EBITDA (66).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 35 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 59
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.
