Analysis
Global Industrial Company (GIC) currently trades at $39.13, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $29.28, implying the stock looks roughly 25.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (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, Global Industrial Company generated revenue of $1.4B at a net margin of 5.3%. Revenue grew 9.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 24.3%. Net debt stands at $36.1M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $21.36 (bear case) to $38.92 (bull case); at $39.13, 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 near its 52-week high and 54% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -35% fair-value upside, at -25%, GIC 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 ($34.92) versus Asset-Based ($5.48). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
