Analysis
Malibu Boats, Inc (MBUU) currently trades at $28.88, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $16.67, implying the stock looks roughly 42.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (solid 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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Malibu Boats, Inc generated revenue of $826M at a net margin of -0.1%. Revenue grew 3.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -0.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $11.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $12.50 (bear case) to $20.84 (bull case); at $28.88, 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 27% below its 52-week high and 21% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 6% fair-value upside, at -42%, MBUU 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($23.07) versus Dividend Discount ($0.8600). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
