Fair Value models

Bear $27.59 Fair Value $36.79 Bull $45.99
Price $31.51 · Upside +16.8%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2026 figures (about 7 months old). Earnings retained since then ($0.9959 per share) are deliberately not added. 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. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds. Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Revenue & earnings trend

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card. 40/100
Revenue growth is inconsistent: the periods point in different directions, so there is no trend to rely on.
Revenue growth 1 year
+4.5%
Revenue growth 3 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
−2.0%
Revenue growth 5 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+0.7%
Start year 2021 (pandemic). Over 10 years: −1.1% a year
Revenue growth 27 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+9.9%
What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate. Basis: adjusted.
+34.6%
Earnings growth per share plus dividend.
Earnings per share, growth per year+34.6%
Dividend (yield on the price)0.0%
Pace: 5 vs 10 years ⓘTwo data points, not a trend model: earnings growth per share over the last 5 fiscal years against the last 10. Labelled "steady" when both rates are within 3 percentage points of each other, otherwise picking up or flattening. Shown only when ten years of history exist.29.2% vs 3.8%, picking up
Profit margin 2021 to 2026 ⓘOperating margin then vs now, from reported annual statements. A falling margin after a boom year is the classic peak-earnings signal: the growth rate then leans on an inflated base.5% → 13%
Pace: the 5-year rate starts in 2021 (pandemic)

Growth Forecast

Little optimism in the price
The price assumes less growth than the company has delivered so far.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
−8.3%
The company could shrink this much every year for the next five years and today's price would still be justified.
What forecasts expect
n/a
No analyst forecast available.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about −10.4% a year for the price.

Note from the team Oct 11, 2026
AI conclusion: The main strength is extending the Smart Data platform with MCP connectivity and a conversational Copilot for trusted network evidence on demand, while the main weak point is low ROE relative to margins together with limited public evidence of durability.
Main risk: Full-year guidance pointing to a slower pace after the recent revenue increase risks limiting demand growth if the AI integrations mainly deepen value for existing users instead of opening meaningful new adoption.
NetScout is extending its Smart Data platform with MCP connectivity and a new conversational Copilot so AI assistants can pull trusted network evidence on demand. Recent quarterly revenue rose over 12 percent but full-year guidance points to a slower pace ahead. Our models currently see the stock as overvalued. Will the AI integrations open meaningful new adoption or mainly deepen value for existing users?

Over the last 5 years revenue grew +0.7 % per year. As of Nov 6, 2026.
What discount rate (WACC) does the fair value of NTCT use?
Our models discount NetScout Systems Inc at 9.1 %: a base by market capitalisation (mid), damped by beta 0.74, country premium for USA. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For NetScout Systems Inc that is -8.3 % per year for five years, then slowing evenly to 2 % by year ten, using the same discount rate (9.1 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has NetScout Systems Inc (NTCT) delivered so far?
Over the past 5 years revenue at NetScout Systems Inc grew +0.7 % a year. The price currently implies free-cash-flow growth of -8.3 % per year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.
How fast is the sector of NetScout Systems Inc (NTCT) growing?

What is the free cash flow yield of NetScout Systems Inc (NTCT)?
The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 12.63 %: that much free cash flow NetScout Systems Inc produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (9.1 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.
What is the intrinsic value of NetScout Systems Inc (NTCT)?
Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For NetScout Systems Inc it is $36.79 per share (as of Nov 6, 2026), against a price of $31.51. It is the blended result of 24 valuation models in 7 families (DCF Models, Earnings-Based, Multiples, Asset-Based, Growth DCF, Economic Profit, Growth Earnings).
Is NetScout Systems Inc stock overvalued or undervalued in 2026?
As of Nov 6, 2026, NTCT trades below its calculated fair value: price $31.51, fair value $36.79, a gap of about +17% (undervalued). The calculation is refreshed with each new quarterly report, so the verdict can change during the year.
Is fair value the same as the market price of NTCT?
No. The price is what the market pays today ($31.51); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify ($36.79). For NetScout Systems Inc the two are $5.28 per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.

What is the P/E ratio of NTCT?
NetScout Systems Inc trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 19.3 (as of Nov 6, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of $36.79 is built from several models across several years. Excluding one-off items of fiscal year 2026 it is 18.9 (reported for FY2026: 23.7). Median P/E at fiscal year-end, 6 fiscal years (2017 to 2026), reported earnings, FY2017, FY2018, FY2022 ex one-offs: 50.1. Other multiples: PEG 1.6, P/B 1.4, P/S 2.6, EV/EBITDA 9.5.
What is the PEG ratio of NTCT?
The PEG ratio of NetScout Systems Inc is 1.64 (P/E divided by earnings growth, as of Nov 6, 2026). That is above 1, so the growth is already paid for in the price.
