Analysis
Franklin Electric Co (FELE) currently trades at $109.46, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $69.91, implying the stock looks roughly 36.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Franklin Electric Co generated revenue of $2.2B at a net margin of 6.9%. Revenue grew 9.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.5%. Net debt stands at $181M. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $47.60 (bear case) to $87.39 (bull case); at $109.46, 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 2% below its 52-week high and 31% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -36%, FELE 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($76.93) versus Dividend Discount ($17.04). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
