Lifetime Brands, Inc (LCUT) Fair Value & Analysis

Consumer Cyclical · US · Market cap $193M

Below-average quality, and screening another 73% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

• The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($8.60). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
• Weak quality (43/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
• The model range is unusually wide ($1.61 to $8.60). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

Lifetime Brands, Inc (LCUT) currently trades at $9.19, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2.51, implying the stock looks roughly 72.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Lifetime Brands, Inc generated revenue of $651M at a net margin of -4.2%. Revenue grew 2.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -13.0%. Net debt stands at $239M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $1.61 (bear case) to $8.60 (bull case); at $9.19, 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 6% below its 52-week high and 223% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at -73%, LCUT 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.

Widest divergence: Multiples ($11.31) versus Dividend Discount ($1.62). Highest evidence: ROIC Compounder (72).

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.
