Analysis
RBC Bearings Incorporated (RBC) currently trades at $554.25, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $179.94, implying the stock looks roughly 67.5% 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, RBC Bearings Incorporated generated revenue of $1.9B at a net margin of 15.4%. Revenue grew 18.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.0%. Net debt stands at $934M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $102.04 (bear case) to $238.64 (bull case); at $554.25, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 12% below its 52-week high and 53% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -29% fair-value upside, at -68%, RBC 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($207.59) versus Asset-Based ($71.18). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
