Analysis

National Presto Industries, Inc (NPK) currently trades at $137.99, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $79.27, implying the stock looks roughly 42.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (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, National Presto Industries, Inc generated revenue of $519M at a net margin of 6.2%. Revenue grew 14.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.4%. Net debt stands at $29.8M. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $55.49 (bear case) to $103.06 (bull case); at $137.99, 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 8% below its 52-week high and 52% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -59% fair-value upside, at -43%, NPK 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: Growth Earnings ($79.27) versus Dividend Discount ($10.93). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
