INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$48.11
Trading above historical range
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 11.5x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: FUL is currently trading at $51.55, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $49.71 to $50.99. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 9.8) compared to its historical average (11.5). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 5.3% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 18.0% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, FUL is in a strong downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $52.68. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 50/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $68.29 (+34.8%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
