How Benchmark Electronics makes money

It earns fees from original equipment manufacturers for outsourced design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, and supply chain services. It also earns revenue from aftermarket repair, refurbishment, and spare parts work over a product's life, and sells mainly through a direct sales force.

What Benchmark Electronics does

Benchmark Electronics, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, is an electronics manufacturing services provider working in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. It covers a product's whole life cycle: new product design, prototyping and custom test equipment, then printed circuit board assembly, system integration, and extensive reliability and stress testing. The company also does precision metal machining, e-beam welding, and complex electromechanical assemblies, along with supply chain management, order fulfillment, and aftermarket services such as repair and remanufacturing. It serves original equipment manufacturers in advanced computing and communications, aerospace and defense, industrial, medical, and semiconductor capital equipment markets.

What is Benchmark Electronics worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Benchmark Electronics's most-likely value is about $45 versus a recent price near $81 (45% above fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$28) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Fairly priced — no edge
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ $81
Fair value (most likely)
$45
Range
$37–$59
No-growth floor
$28
Price
~$81

Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.

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 →
