Analysis
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (ZWS) currently trades at $51.42, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $24.92, implying the stock looks roughly 51.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation generated revenue of $1.7B at a net margin of 12.3%. Revenue grew 11.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.3%. Net debt stands at $280M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $18.69 (bear case) to $31.15 (bull case); at $51.42, 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 4% below its 52-week high and 48% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -52%, ZWS 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 26 models by family
