Analysis

Hi-Lex Corporation (HLXFF) currently trades at $17.13, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $23.62, implying the stock looks roughly 37.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Hi-Lex Corporation generated revenue of $361B at a net margin of 11.5%. Revenue grew 38.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.3%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 12.2. Fundamentals as of Jul 26, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $17.71 (bear case) to $29.52 (bull case); at $17.13, the current price sits below 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 134% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at 38%, HLXFF 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.

Widest divergence: DCF Models ($4,310) versus Earnings-Based ($1,266). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
