Analysis
Sensata Technologies Holding (ST) currently trades at $46.67, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $4.52, implying the stock looks roughly 90.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (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, Sensata Technologies Holding generated revenue of $3.7B at a net margin of 1.3%. Revenue grew 2.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.7%. Net debt stands at $2.3B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $3.39 (bear case) to $5.65 (bull case); at $46.67, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 76% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -90%, ST 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: Growth DCF ($32.69) versus Earnings-Based ($3.59). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
