How Interface makes money

It makes money mainly by selling flooring products, either directly to end users or through independent contractors, installers, and distributors. It also earns revenue from installation, replacement, maintenance, and project management services, and from accessories such as adhesives and the TacTiles installation system.

What Interface does

Interface, Inc. is an Atlanta-based flooring company founded in 1973 and best known for modular carpet tiles, which are square pieces of carpet that can be installed and replaced one at a time. Its range also includes luxury vinyl tiles, modular resilient flooring, and rubber flooring sold under the NORAPLAN and NORAMENT brands. The products go mostly into commercial interiors such as offices, schools, healthcare facilities, airports, hotels, and retail stores, with some residential use through the FLOR brand. The company sells directly to end users and indirectly through contractors, installers, and distributors across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It adds to its product sales with carpet replacement, installation, maintenance, and project management services, plus related products such as adhesives and the TacTiles glue-free installation system.

What is Interface worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Interface's most-likely value is about $31 versus a recent price near $35 (10% above fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$18) 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 ≈ $35
Fair value (most likely)
$31
Range
$25–$43
No-growth floor
$18
Price
~$35

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 →
