What matters now

• Solid quality (61/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
• A fairly wide model range ($26.52 to $63.38) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
• For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

BlackRock Utility & Infrastructure Trust (BUI) currently trades at $26.63, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $50.70, implying the stock looks roughly 47.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Earnings-Based group reads highest at a median of $136.50 per share, and 7 of the 8 models we run sit above the $26.63 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $14.92, and 1 of the 8 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 6.0. Fundamentals as of Aug 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $26.52 (bear case) to $63.38 (bull case); at $26.63, the current price sits within 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 12% below its 52-week high and 20% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −28% fair-value upside, at 90%, BUI screens cheaper 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 $3.07 per share. 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.

Widest divergence: Earnings-Based ($136.50) versus Asset-Based ($14.92). Highest evidence: Residual Income (68).
