What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($287.75). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (53/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($147.49 to $287.75) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart

Analysis
A. Schulman Inc (SLMNP) currently trades at $852.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $203.64, implying the stock looks roughly 76.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, A. Schulman Inc generated revenue of $2.7B at a net margin of 1.3%. Revenue grew 11.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.7%. Net debt stands at $619M. Fundamentals as of Aug 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $147.49 (bear case) to $287.75 (bull case); at $852.00, 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 3% below its 52-week high and 8% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -76%, SLMNP screens richer 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 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Earnings-Based ($249.03) versus Asset-Based ($39.22). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 49 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 58
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
