What Espey MFG & Electronics does

Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp., founded in 1928 and based in Saratoga Springs, New York, makes the hardware that keeps power flowing in demanding environments.

What is Espey MFG & Electronics worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Espey MFG & Electronics's most-likely value is about $42 versus a recent price near $60 (29% above fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$22) 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 ≈ $60
Fair value (most likely)
$42
Range
$31–$69
No-growth floor
$22
Price
~$60

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 →
