Analysis

RCI Hospitality Holdings (RICK) currently trades at $28.07, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $31.11, implying the stock looks roughly 10.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, RCI Hospitality Holdings generated revenue of $282M at a net margin of -2.3%. Revenue grew 4.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -2.5%. Net debt stands at $233M. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $23.33 (bear case) to $38.89 (bull case); at $28.07, the current price sits within 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 31% below its 52-week high and 36% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -47% fair-value upside, at 11%, RICK 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: DCF Models ($33.25) versus Economic Profit ($9.42). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
