What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 78/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($51.91). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- A fairly wide model range ($27.62 to $51.91) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $29.72 – $68.31 · fair‑value band $27.62 – $51.91 · the $66.23 price screens above the $37.57 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 16, 2026.
Analysis
CTS Corporation (CTS) currently trades at $66.23, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $37.57, implying the stock looks roughly 43.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 78/100 (high quality), in the Technology 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, CTS Corporation generated revenue of $555M at a net margin of 12.5%. Revenue grew 10.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.6%. Net debt stands at $39.6M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $27.62 (bear case) to $51.91 (bull case); at $66.23, 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 about 3% below its 52-week high and 84% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -73% fair-value upside, at -43%, CTS 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.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($39.40) versus Dividend Discount ($1.71). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
