What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide ($9.21 to $30.84). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid quality (45/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$61.20 $16.97 Fair Value $27.41 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

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 $16.97 – $61.20 · fair‑value band $9.21 – $30.84 · the $16.97 price screens below the $27.41 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 2 fiscal years are left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Sep 5, 2026.

Analysis

Olin Corporation (OLN) currently trades at $16.97, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $27.41, implying the stock looks roughly 38.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $32.50 per share, and 3 of the 9 models we run sit above the $16.97 price. Bear case: the Growth DCF group reads lowest at $10.74, and 6 of the 9 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Olin Corporation generated revenue of $6.7B at a net margin of −2.8%. Revenue declined 3.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −9.8%. Net debt stands at $3.2B. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $9.21 (bear case) to $30.84 (bull case); at $16.97, 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 44% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −48% fair-value upside, at 62%, OLN 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.

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.
