Share price −10.6% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 40% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($102.37). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($56.25 to $102.37) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Granite Construction Incorporated (GVA) currently trades at $128.32, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $76.90, implying the stock looks roughly 40.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (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, Granite Construction Incorporated generated revenue of $4.6B at a net margin of 4.0%. Revenue grew 30.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.0%. Net debt stands at $1.1B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $56.25 (bear case) to $102.37 (bull case); at $128.32, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 12% below its 52-week high and 47% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -40%, GVA 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 ($93.40) versus Dividend Discount ($7.18). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
