What is SEI Investments worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, SEI Investments's most-likely value is about $128 versus a recent price near $105 (22% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$60) 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 ≈ $105

Fair value (most likely)

$128

Range

$93–$198

No-growth floor

$60

Price

~$105

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 →
