What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($17.57). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($6.20 to $17.57). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (47/100) 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 Aug 13, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $9.17 – $30.30 · fair‑value band $6.20 – $17.57 · the $27.56 price screens above the $9.69 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 Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
USA Compression Partners LP (USAC) currently trades at $27.56, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $9.69, implying the stock looks roughly 184.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: the Dividend Discount group reads highest at a median of $27.84 per share, and 5 of the 22 models we run sit above the $27.56 price. Bear case: the Multiples group reads lowest at $7.60, and 17 of the 22 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, USA Compression Partners LP generated revenue of $1.1B at a net margin of 11.9%. Revenue grew 35.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 84.8%. Net debt stands at $2.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $6.20 (bear case) to $17.57 (bull case); at $27.56, 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 about 10% below its 52-week high and 31% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at −41% fair-value upside, at −65%, USAC screens richer 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.
All 22 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($27.84) versus Growth DCF ($0.9600). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (71).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 44 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 62
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.
