Fair value as of: Jul 21, 2026

From 3 valuation models · updated 21 days ago

Share price −26.1% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 26% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($0.1615). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (33/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • A fairly wide model range ($0.0850 to $0.1615) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
  • Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.

Analysis

Ocean Power Technologies, Inc (OPTT) currently trades at $0.1847, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.1360, implying the stock looks roughly 26.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 33/100 (below-average 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: low).

Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at $3.4M. Revenue declined 37.8% year over year. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $4.9M. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $0.0850 (bear case) to $0.1615 (bull case); at $0.1847, 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 79% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -26%, OPTT 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.

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
