Analysis
Oil-Dri Corporation (ODC) currently trades at $92.79, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $48.93, implying the stock looks roughly 47.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Oil-Dri Corporation generated revenue of $490M at a net margin of 11.4%. Revenue grew 9.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.9%. Net debt stands at $4.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $32.47 (bear case) to $69.46 (bull case); at $92.79, 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 105% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -47%, ODC 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.
All 25 models by family
