KEX's valuation appears fair, fundamentals are above averages and forward estimates point to earnings and revenue growth, though analyst coverage is limited.

Valuation

Historical cheapness: current PE is 21.4× versus the full-history median of 24.4× shown in the valuation table, producing 58.7/100. Positive weekly observations receive equal weight; lower past EPS alone does not disqualify them.

Outlook-adjusted valuation: 60.6/100. The model applies a 16.4% earnings-growth assumption and a 10% annual return hurdle, with positive credit limited by evidence coverage and confidence.

Forward price scenarios use recent PE history separately. Recent history has a separately weighted median of 22.1× (18-month half-life). The favorable scenario uses 22.4× PE and $8.2 projected EPS, informed by growth, margins and earnings-quality checks. This is a model scenario, not an analyst target. A return to the full-history median is not assumed.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are strong. Over the past year: revenue +6.6%, earnings +22.2%. Free cash flow is 13.6% of revenue. The business score is 65.2/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

Stronger earnings and valuation could support a higher share price.

Our favorable case uses $8.19 of EPS and a 22.4× PE, suggesting a share price of about $182.97. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

The displayed favorable scenario is 31.2% upside, or about $182.92.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Weaker than expected earnings could put pressure on the share price.

Our downside case uses $5.53 of EPS and a 18.8× PE, suggesting a share price of about $103.87 — 26% below today’s price. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.
