  • Compass Minerals rebound may be overvalued, DCF suggests
    January 17, 2026, 10:38 PM EST. Compass Minerals International's stock at $23.29 places a strong rebound alongside a cautious valuation. The article notes a 7-day return of 2.5%, 30-day 22.9%, YTD 17.3%, one-year 63.9%, but declines over multi-year frames (-47% over 3 years, -59.7% over 5). The firm scores 2/6 on its valuation checks, indicating potential overvaluation. The primary framework is a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model using a 2-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) approach. It estimates a last-twelve-month FCF of about $79.7 million; projected 2026 FCF $55.5m, 2027 $47.7m, then $42.1m by 2035 (discounted to $15.6m). The resulting implied intrinsic value is about $11.78 per share, implying CMP is about 97.7% overvalued at the current price. Also notes the P/S ratio as a reference.
