What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($57.32). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 5, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $66.22 – $297.39 · fair‑value band $36.17 – $57.32 · the $240.56 price screens above the $38.76 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 5, 2026.
Analysis
Materion Corporation (MTRN) currently trades at $240.56, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $38.76, implying the stock looks roughly 520.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $61.15 per share, and 0 of the 25 models we run sit above the $240.56 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at $7.28, and 25 of the 25 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.
Over the trailing twelve months, Materion Corporation generated revenue of $1.9B at a net margin of 4.0%. Revenue grew 30.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.3%. Net debt stands at $587M. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $36.17 (bear case) to $57.32 (bull case); at $240.56, 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 near its 52-week high and 217% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −37% fair-value upside, at −84%, MTRN 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 $2.10 per share, which is 5.4 % 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.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($61.15) versus Dividend Discount ($7.28). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 54 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 70
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.
