Find out why TIC Solutions's -16.7% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.

Approach 1: TIC Solutions Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a company could be worth by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting those projections back to today to reflect risk and the time value of money.

For TIC Solutions, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach based on cash flow projections. The latest twelve month Free Cash Flow is about $36.76 million, and Simply Wall St projects Free Cash Flow out to 2035, with estimates such as $36.23 million in 2026 and $43.62 million in 2035. These longer term figures are extrapolated beyond the near term analyst view.

When all those projected cash flows are discounted back and combined, the model suggests an intrinsic value of about $2.84 per share. Compared with the current share price of around $9.99, the DCF output indicates that, on this measure, TIC Solutions screens as significantly overvalued.

Approach 2: TIC Solutions Price vs Sales

For companies where revenue is a key reference point, the P/S ratio is a useful gauge because it compares what you pay per share with the sales the business generates per share, regardless of current profitability.

What investors usually see as a “normal” P/S level depends on how quickly they expect sales to grow and how risky those sales are. Higher expected growth or lower perceived risk can justify a higher P/S, while slower growth or higher risk often points to a lower multiple.

TIC Solutions currently trades on a P/S of about 1.72x. That sits above the Professional Services industry average of roughly 1.29x, but below the peer group average of around 2.29x. Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio, which is its view of the P/S that fits TIC Solutions given factors such as growth prospects, profit margins, industry, market cap and specific risks, is 2.32x.

Because the Fair Ratio blends these fundamentals, it can be more tailored than a simple comparison to peers or the broad industry, which may have very different business models or risk profiles.

Set against the current 1.72x P/S, the Fair Ratio of 2.32x suggests TIC Solutions screens as undervalued on this metric.

Result: UNDERVALUED
