Analysis
The Williams Companies, Inc (WMB) currently trades at $71.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $12.03, implying the stock looks roughly 83.2% overvalued today. We read business quality at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Energy 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, The Williams Companies, Inc generated revenue of $12.1B at a net margin of 23.1%. Revenue grew 9.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 19.7%. Net debt stands at $29.3B. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $8.79 (bear case) to $21.03 (bull case); at $71.76, 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 10% below its 52-week high and 32% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -32% fair-value upside, at -83%, WMB 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 20 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($35.75) versus Asset-Based ($7.02). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
