What is Amentum worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Amentum's most-likely value is about $36 versus a recent price near $19 (88% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$23) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Deeply discounted.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Deeply discounted
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ $19
Fair value (most likely)
$36
Range
$29–$49
No-growth floor
$23
Price
~$19

On the financials alone, $19 is below even the no-growth floor ($23); the market's discount — expectations and sentiment beyond the numbers — is pricing in ≈ -1.9%/yr. A bargain only if that pessimism is overdone.

⚠ High leverage — net debt is 5.5× annual cash flow. Net debt is subtracted from this fair value, but refinancing at higher rates, principal timing, and share dilution aren’t modeled — the equity can be worth far less if cash flow weakens.

Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
