Analysis
RGC Resources, Inc (RGCO) currently trades at $21.87, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $18.17, implying the stock looks roughly 16.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 46/100 (below-average quality), in the Utilities 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, RGC Resources, Inc generated revenue of $107M at a net margin of 13.0%. Revenue grew 24.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.5%. Net debt stands at $147M. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $12.75 (bear case) to $18.17 (bull case); at $21.87, 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 11% below its 52-week high and 14% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at -19% fair-value upside, at -17%, RGCO 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 18 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($18.21) versus DCF Models ($3.31). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
