Valuation

Valuation signal

Significantly undervalued
Price
$49.02
Fair value
$72.90
Gap to fair value
−33%

In our model the price counts as cheap below $52.07 and expensive above $121.50 (uncertainty high, one part of the fair value is more than twice the other).

The two parts of the fair value come to $131.68 (cash-flow model) and $14.11 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.

Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $61.39, at 7.8% it would be $90.21.

Company outlook raised

Share price after the results: +5.2%

Higher confidence in 2026, synergy target from the Steelcase integration raised to at least $120 million; third quarter non-GAAP EPS expected up in the mid to high 20% range.

Supporting passage from the call, verbatim
“We continue to expect modest accretion in 2026 and now expect total synergies will reach at least $120 million when fully mature.”

The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
