Analysis
Ecovyst Inc (ECVT) currently trades at $10.38, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $13.74, implying the stock looks roughly 32.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Ecovyst Inc generated revenue of $795M at a net margin of -8.0%. Revenue grew 50.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.2%. Net debt stands at $234M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $8.10 (bear case) to $20.62 (bull case); at $10.38, 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 31% below its 52-week high and 41% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at 32%, ECVT 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 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($8.25) versus Earnings-Based ($3.11). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
