What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($4.43). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (52/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($2.34 to $4.43) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$364.20 $3.73 Fair Value $3.55 Jun 2021 Sep 2026

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $3.73 – $364.20 · fair‑value band $2.34 – $4.43 · the $17.08 price screens above the $3.55 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.

Analysis

FuelCell Energy Inc (FCEL) currently trades at $17.08, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $3.55, implying the stock looks roughly 381.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. How firm this estimate is: it rests on 1 models at a data quality of 93/100, which puts the evidence level at low.

Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at $168M. Revenue declined 4.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −30.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $134M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $2.34 (bear case) to $4.43 (bull case); at $17.08, 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 38% below its 52-week high and 352% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −44% fair-value upside, at −79%, FCEL screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
