What matters now
- Weak quality (41/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The price sits in the upper half of our model range, so the margin of safety is thin.
- Read the verdict with care: some models are missing inputs, so the estimate scatters more than usual.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
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 $78.05 – $200.00 · fair‑value band $107.30 – $190.33 · the $177.31 price screens above the $140.90 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. As of Sep 3, 2026.
Analysis
GATX Corporation (GATX) currently trades at $177.31, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $140.90, implying the stock looks roughly 25.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 41/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $153.28 per share, and 1 of the 11 models we run sit above the $177.31 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $30.81, and 10 of the 11 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, GATX Corporation generated revenue of $1.9B at a net margin of 17.9%. Revenue grew 38.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.8%. Net debt stands at $7.8B. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $107.30 (bear case) to $190.33 (bull case); at $177.31, 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 14% below its 52-week high and 21% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 13% fair-value upside, at −21%, GATX screens richer 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 $4.64 per share, which is 3.3 % 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 11 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($153.28) versus Dividend Discount ($30.81). Highest evidence: Residual Income (72).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 40 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 51
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.
