What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($17.43). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The model range is unusually wide ($6.16 to $17.43). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (51/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Williams Companies Inc (WMB) currently trades at $74.05, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $11.73, implying the stock looks roughly 531.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Energy sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $25.93 per share, and 0 of the 15 models we run sit above the $74.05 price. Bear case: the DCF Models group reads lowest at $4.09, and 15 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.

Over the trailing twelve months, Williams Companies Inc generated revenue of $12.1B at a net margin of 23.1%. Revenue grew 9.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.7%. Net debt stands at $29.3B. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $6.16 (bear case) to $17.43 (bull case); at $74.05, 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 8% below its 52-week high and 36% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at −39% fair-value upside, at −84%, WMB screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.1733 per share, which is 1.5 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

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.

Note: the current price implies far more future growth than the conservative anchors of our models allow (base growth is deliberately capped, we do not regard such extreme rates as sustainable). Our models are not designed for expectations this high; that is why the individual models scatter extremely ($0.8600 to $37.30). Read the values as a conservative anchor, not as a price target.
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

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.
