Simpson Manufacturing (SSD): Taking Stock of Valuation After Recent Steady Share Price Gains

Simply Wall St·12/16/2025 02:15:15
Listen to the news

Simpson Manufacturing (SSD) has been quietly grinding higher, with the stock up around 3% over the past month even after a choppy past 3 months and softer 1 year returns.

See our latest analysis for Simpson Manufacturing.

At around $168.88 per share, Simpson’s recent 30 day share price return of roughly 3% looks modest against a tougher 90 day patch, but the strong three year total shareholder return above 90% suggests the longer term uptrend is still intact and momentum is consolidating rather than breaking.

If this kind of steady compounder appeals to you, it might be worth widening the lens and exploring fast growing stocks with high insider ownership for other under the radar opportunities with aligned management.

With earnings still growing, a share price slightly below analyst targets and only a small estimated discount to intrinsic value, the key question is whether Simpson is quietly undervalued or if the market already reflects its future growth.

Most Popular Narrative: 13.3% Undervalued

With Simpson Manufacturing last closing at $168.88 against a narrative fair value of $194.75, the story points to meaningful upside if projections land.

The accelerating adoption of off site, modular, and mass timber construction solutions is creating significant demand for high performance, engineered fasteners and connectors, an area where Simpson continues to see double digit OEM volume growth and increasing traction with new digital and software solutions. This is likely to support above market revenue growth.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious how steady, mid single digit expansion in both sales and margins can still justify a richer future earnings multiple than many industrial peers? The narrative leans on disciplined share count reduction, resilient profitability through the housing cycle, and a valuation reset that still assumes a lower earnings multiple than the broader building group. Want to see exactly which growth, margin and multiple assumptions power that $194.75 fair value call and how they stack up over the next few years?

Result: Fair Value of $194.75 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, this upside case could falter if a prolonged housing slowdown or persistent steel cost inflation compresses volumes, margins, and ultimately investor confidence.
