Veralto 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 Veralto's earnings keep growing at the 11.3% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 6.68 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (23.0 to 30.2) that is 153.76 to 201.79 a share, or 173.87 at its average P/E of 26.0. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 4.47 | 102.90 | 116.36 | 135.05 |
| FY2027 | 4.88 | 112.43 | 127.13 | 147.55 |
| FY2028 | 5.39 | 124.13 | 140.37 | 162.91 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 6.00 | 138.15 | 156.22 | 181.31 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 6.68 | 153.76 | 173.87 | 201.79 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 11.3% 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 (23.0, 26.0, 30.2).
Is Veralto 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.
Veralto's P/E of 29.0 is above the middle of its 5-year range (19.5 to 35.4, median 27.5). Analysts expect faster growth than in recent years, which can explain part of the high P/E. Buyers pay less for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 2.3 on expected growth against 5.4 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (27.5 × EPS of 4.07), Veralto's fair value is 111.84; the price, 118.22, is 5.7% above it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 26.5.
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 (19.5 and 35.4). The price against its P/E range
