What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide ($6.96 to $18.68). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

Custom Truck One Source, Inc (CTOS) currently trades at $10.42, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $12.82, implying the stock looks roughly 23.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: low), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Custom Truck One Source, Inc generated revenue of $2.0B at a net margin of -0.9%. Revenue grew 9.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -2.2%. Net debt stands at $2.4B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $6.96 (bear case) to $18.68 (bull case); at $10.42, 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 near its 52-week high and 127% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -21% fair-value upside, at 23%, CTOS 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.
