Analysis

Avient Corporation (AVNT) currently trades at $45.69, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $11.59, implying the stock looks roughly 74.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Avient Corporation generated revenue of $3.3B at a net margin of 4.8%. Revenue grew 2.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.7%. Net debt stands at $1.4B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $8.94 (bear case) to $18.98 (bull case); at $45.69, 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 near its 52-week high and 69% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -75%, AVNT screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.

Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($17.35) versus Earnings-Based ($4.73). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
