Methode Electronics, Inc (MEI) Fair Value & Analysis

Technology · US · Market cap $497M

A solid business, but screening 64% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

• The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($9.11). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
• The model range is unusually wide ($2.76 to $9.11). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
• The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
• Solid but not exceptional quality (51/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Methode Electronics, Inc (MEI) currently trades at $16.67, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.93, implying the stock looks roughly 64.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Methode Electronics, Inc generated revenue of $978M at a net margin of -6.6%. Revenue declined 2.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -9.3%. Net debt stands at $240M. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $2.76 (bear case) to $9.11 (bull case); at $16.67, 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 near its 52-week high and 244% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -73% fair-value upside, at -64%, MEI 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: Asset-Based ($13.11) versus Multiples ($6.66). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).
