What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($5.39). The favourable scenario is already priced in.

Analysis

Hillman Solutions Corp (HLMN) currently trades at $9.22, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $4.31, implying the stock looks roughly 53.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (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, Hillman Solutions Corp generated revenue of $1.6B at a net margin of 2.3%. Revenue grew 3.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.0%. Net debt stands at $801M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $3.24 (bear case) to $5.39 (bull case); at $9.22, 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 15% below its 52-week high and 41% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at -53%, HLMN screens richer 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.
