INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$48.53
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 11.6x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: FUL is currently trading at $50.23, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $49.86 to $55.76. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 9.7) compared to its historical average (11.6). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 5.9% 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. Immediate support is located at $46.70, while resistance sits at $53.55.
Market Sentiment: FUL scores 33/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $68.29 (+35.9%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
