  • Repligen (RGEN) Shares Drop Sharply but DCF Model Suggests Undervaluation
    April 30, 2026, 8:20 AM EDT. Repligen's share price fell 31.2% year-to-date to around $113, prompting concerns about its growth outlook amid a challenging bioprocessing market. Despite this, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis estimates an intrinsic value of $169.39 per share, implying the stock is undervalued by 33.2%. The DCF model, which forecasts free cash flow rising from $81.47 million last year to about $364.66 million by 2030, supports positive long-term prospects. While the stock faces near-term pressure reflecting broader sector reassessment, valuation signals indicate potential upside. Investors may use this data point to reevaluate Repligen's risk and return profile amid ongoing price weakness.
