  • Ducommun (DCO) Valuation Under Scrutiny After Strong Share Price Rally
    February 5, 2026, 6:59 PM EST. Ducommun's (DCO) share price surged 18% over the past month and 33% in 3 months, outpacing its 1-year 78.7% and 5-year 112.5% total shareholder returns. Trading near $119.25, close to analysts' $121.60 target, the stock is flagged as slightly overvalued with a fair value of $117.80, implying modest growth priced in. Cost-saving initiatives and margin expansion are expected by late 2025, boosting cash flow conversion. Yet, execution risks and aerospace demand remain concerns. A discounted cash flow (DCF) model, however, values DCO shares at $238.37, suggesting a 50% discount. Investors face a critical choice between the popular modest overvaluation view and a significant discount perspective based on future cash flow forecasts.
