A solid business, but screening 69% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($56.42). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (50/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range ($26.74 to $56.42) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Semtech Corporation (SMTC) currently trades at $139.42, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $43.86, implying the stock looks roughly 68.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 50/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, Semtech Corporation generated revenue of $1.1B at a net margin of -3.0%. Revenue grew 15.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -5.8%. Net debt stands at $296M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $26.74 (bear case) to $56.42 (bull case); at $139.42, 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 19% below its 52-week high and 266% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -67% fair-value upside, at -69%, SMTC 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.
