Analysis
Matson, Inc (MATX) currently trades at $213.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $173.95, implying the stock looks roughly 18.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (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, Matson, Inc generated revenue of $3.3B at a net margin of 12.9%. Revenue declined 3.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 16.0%. Net debt stands at $585M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $98.25 (bear case) to $308.79 (bull case); at $213.76, 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 near its 52-week high and 148% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 7% fair-value upside, at -19%, MATX 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($261.80) versus Dividend Discount ($20.05). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
