WW Grainger stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If WW Grainger's earnings keep growing at the 12.9% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 72.27 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (18.3 to 32.6) that is 1,322.76 to 2,356.64 a share, or 1,863.95 at its average P/E of 25.8. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 47.52 | 869.77 | 1,225.62 | 1,549.58 |
| FY2027 | 52.10 | 953.56 | 1,343.71 | 1,698.88 |
| FY2028 | 56.74 | 1,038.62 | 1,463.56 | 1,850.41 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 64.04 | 1,172.11 | 1,651.67 | 2,088.24 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 72.27 | 1,322.76 | 1,863.95 | 2,356.64 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 12.9% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (18.3, 25.8, 32.6).
Is WW Grainger stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
WW Grainger's P/E of 32.6 is near the top of its 5-year range (19.0 to 37.6, median 25.8). Analysts do not expect faster growth than in recent years, so it is expensive compared with its own history. Buyers pay more for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 1.9 on expected growth against 1.2 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (25.8 × EPS of 45.57), WW Grainger's fair value is 1,177.66; the price, 1,486.04, is 26.2% above it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 31.3.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (19.0 and 37.6). The price against its P/E range
