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 18.1x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: RPM is currently trading at $100.21, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $103.71 to $114.61. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 17.0) is in line with its historical norms (18.1). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 2.0% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, RPM is in a uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $98.00. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: RPM scores 30/100 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 $130.50 (+30.2%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
