Ralliant (RAL) is in focus after reporting a full year net loss tied largely to a non cash goodwill impairment in its EA Elektro Automatik business, alongside ongoing dividends and an unused US$200 million buyback.
See our latest analysis for Ralliant.
The recent earnings release, goodwill impairment tied to EA Elektro Automatik and fresh dividend approval have all contributed to sharp volatility. A 7-day share price return of a 24.76% decline and a year-to-date share price return of a 19.60% decline indicate pressure rather than building momentum, despite a 1-day share price return of a 4.20% gain and a latest share price of US$41.18.

With Ralliant now trading at US$41.18, sitting on a recent net loss, an implied intrinsic discount and an unused US$200 million buyback, is the market overlooking value here or already pricing in whatever growth lies ahead?
Ralliant’s most followed narrative sets a fair value of $51 per share against the last close at $41.18, framing the current loss making picture alongside a potential recovery story that analysts have mapped out in detail.
Planned growth focused CapEx at 2% to 3% of revenue and reinvestment of 50 to 100 basis points of margin into commercial, innovation and manufacturing initiatives are aimed at expanding capacity in defense and utilities and accelerating product refresh cycles, which can support medium term revenue growth and earnings power.
Want to see how that spending plan supposedly flips today’s loss into future profits? The narrative leans on steadier growth, higher margins and a richer earnings multiple. Curious which specific revenue step ups and profit levels are baked into that $51 fair value and how long the market is assumed to wait?
Result: Fair Value of $51 (UNDERVALUED)
