Most Popular Narrative: 2.5% Overvalued

With TTM Technologies last closing at $121.49 against a narrative fair value of $118.50, the most followed valuation story currently sees only a small premium, built on detailed assumptions about how earnings and cash flows could develop over time under a specific discount rate of 8.6%.

Large scale data center buildouts announced by tech giants (e.g., Google, CoreWeave, Meta) and TTM's new Wisconsin facility position the company to capture outsized demand for advanced PCBs and interconnects required for AI and cloud infrastructure, directly supporting revenue growth and long-term customer relationships.

Another Angle: Multiples Signal A Richer Price

While the popular narrative sees TTM Technologies as only 2.5% above fair value, the current P/E of 71.1x tells a tougher story. It stands well above the US Electronic industry at 31.6x, the peer average at 41.4x, and even the 54.5x fair ratio that the market could move towards over time. That gap points to less room for disappointment if growth or margins fall short. How comfortable are you with paying this kind of premium?
