What is Simply Good Foods worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Simply Good Foods's most-likely value is about $31 versus a recent price near $10 (206% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$17) 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 ≈ $10
Fair value (most likely)
$31
Range
$23–$48
No-growth floor
$17
Price
~$10

On the financials alone, $10 is below even the no-growth floor ($17); the market's discount — expectations and sentiment beyond the numbers — is pricing in ≈ -5.8%/yr. A bargain only if that pessimism is overdone.

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 →
