Fair Value models

Bear $13.24 Fair Value $28.51 Bull $47.70
Model Each model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above is their evidence-weighted blend, not the output of a single model. Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence Evidence = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Revenue & earnings trend

Growth Quality Growth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card. 37/100
Revenue growth is inconsistent: the periods point in different directions, so there is no trend to rely on.
Revenue growth 1 year
+3.7%
Revenue growth 3 years Measures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
−10.2%
Revenue growth 5 years Measures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+3.3%
Start year 2020 (pandemic). Over 10 years: +9.0% a year
Revenue growth 40 years Measures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+3.4%
Profit margin (trend) Operating margin then vs now, from reported annual statements. A falling margin after a boom year is the classic peak-earnings signal: the growth rate then leans on an inflated base.

Growth Forecast

A lot of optimism in the price
The price assumes more growth than the company has delivered so far and more than analysts expect.
What the price assumes This turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
+9.8%
Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.
What forecasts expect Analysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+3.4%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +7.2% a year for the price and +1.0% for the forecasts.
Forecast 2026 (sales)+2.9%
Forecast 2027 (sales)+3.9%
Projected 2028 (sales)+3.6%
Projected 2029 (sales)+3.4%
Projected 2030 (sales)+3.2%

What discount rate (WACC) does the fair value of OLN use?
Our models discount Olin Corporation at 10.2 %: a base by market capitalisation (mid), damped by beta 1.21, country premium for USA. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For Olin Corporation that is +9.8 % per year a year over ten years, using the same discount rate (10.2 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has Olin Corporation (OLN) delivered so far?
Over the past 5 years revenue at Olin Corporation grew +3.3 % a year. The price currently implies +9.8 % per year free-cash-flow growth a year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.
How fast is the sector of Olin Corporation (OLN) growing?
The median revenue growth in the sector is +3.3 % a year. That is the yardstick for the growth priced into Olin Corporation (+9.8 % per year a year): it shows whether the expectation is within the usual range or beyond it.
What is the free cash flow yield of Olin Corporation (OLN)?
The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 12.90 %: that much free cash flow Olin Corporation produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (10.2 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.
What is the intrinsic value of Olin Corporation (OLN)?
Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For Olin Corporation it is $28.51 per share (as of Sep 23, 2026), against a price of $16.77. It is the blended result of 12 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).
Is Olin Corporation stock overvalued or undervalued in 2026?
As of Sep 23, 2026, OLN trades below its calculated fair value: price $16.77, fair value $28.51, a gap of about +70% (undervalued). The calculation is refreshed with each new quarterly report, so the verdict can change during the year.
Is fair value the same as the market price of OLN?
No. The price is what the market pays today ($16.77); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify ($28.51). For Olin Corporation the two are $11.74 per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.
How much is Olin Corporation worth?
The market values Olin Corporation at about $2.4B (market capitalisation, as of Sep 23, 2026). Per share that is $16.77; our models calculate a fair value of $28.51 per share.

Our models span a range for Olin Corporation: cautious scenario $13.24, base $28.51, optimistic $47.70 per share (as of Sep 23, 2026, price $16.77). The range comes from different growth and margin assumptions, not from analyst opinions.
What is the PEG ratio of OLN?
The PEG ratio of Olin Corporation is 7.05 (P/E divided by earnings growth, as of Sep 23, 2026). That is above 1, so the growth is already paid for in the price.
How solid is the balance sheet of Olin Corporation (OLN)?
Balance-sheet figures for Olin Corporation (as of Sep 23, 2026): return on equity −9.8%, debt of 1.48 per unit of equity. They feed the Quality Score of 45/100, which measures business quality independently of the share price.
How far is OLN from its 52-week high?
Olin Corporation trades at $16.77, about 44% below its 52-week high of $29.93 and 1% above the low of $16.54 (as of Sep 23, 2026). Distance from the high says nothing about value: that is what the fair value of $28.51 is for.
Which stocks are comparable to Olin Corporation?
From the same area (Basic Materials) we also value BASF SE, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group, Dow Inc, among others. Each of them has its own fair-value calculation on this site using the same models, so the comparison is like for like.

Every model gets the same audited fundamentals; the result is the weighted average of $28.51, with the spread shown as a cautious and an optimistic scenario.
Is it still worth investing in stocks now?
The global stock market currently sits 14.1 % above its aggregate fair value. Olin Corporation currently trades 70 % below its own fair value, and the market average says nothing about that. An expensive market is no reason to stay out and no reason to buy everything at once: keep a broad savings plan running, buy single stocks only with money you can do without, and hold part of your money liquid while the market is high. The full picture including sectors is on is it worth investing now.
What is the share price of Olin Corporation (OLN)?
The closing price on Sep 23, 2026 was $16.77. Our model-based fair value is $28.51, about +70% upside (undervalued). We carry closing prices from our data provider, not a live tick.
What should I pay attention to with Olin Corporation right now?
The model range is unusually wide ($13.24 to $47.70). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution. Solid quality (45/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
