Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $213.00 and expensive above $395.58 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $256.88 (cash-flow model) and $296.93 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly above both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $255.17, at 7.8% it would be $309.54.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (26).

Company outlook raised
Share price after the results: −7.9%Applied Industrial Technologies slightly raised its fiscal 2027 EPS guidance to $11.70 to $12.20, up from $11.65 to $12.15, due to a lower share count after buybacks. Sales and margin guidance remain unchanged at 4% to 6.5% growth and 12.5% to 12.8% EBITDA margin.
“That said, we are maintaining our sales guidance of up 4%-6.5%, as well as EBITDA margins up 12.5%-12.8%. Guidance continues to assume 150 to 200 basis points of year-over-year sales contribution from pricing.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
