Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 24 valuation models · updated today
Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from $66.53 to $64.83 (−2.6%) since Jul 12, 2026. Share price +10.6% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 43% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($103.42). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($36.69 to $103.42). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (59/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
RPM International Inc (RPM) currently trades at $113.33, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $64.83, implying the stock looks roughly 42.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, RPM International Inc generated revenue of $7.7B at a net margin of 8.6%. Revenue grew 8.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 22.9%. Net debt stands at $2.7B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $36.69 (bear case) to $103.42 (bull case); at $113.33, 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 11% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -68% fair-value upside, at -43%, RPM 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: Growth Earnings ($84.36) versus Asset-Based ($15.15). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
