Our scenario range runs from $80.12 (bear case) to $222.50 (bull case); at $169.31, 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.

For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -15% fair-value upside, at -12%, CRAI screens cheaper 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: Multiples ($170.02) versus Asset-Based ($22.14). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
