Analysis
Powell Industries, Inc (POWL) currently trades at $204.04, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $88.39, implying the stock looks roughly 56.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 69/100 (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, Powell Industries, Inc generated revenue of $1.1B at a net margin of 16.5%. Revenue grew 6.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 29.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $449M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $60.34 (bear case) to $112.74 (bull case); at $204.04, 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 about 38% below its 52-week high and 261% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -65% fair-value upside, at -57%, POWL screens cheaper 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($91.51) versus Asset-Based ($11.78). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
