Revenue for the twelve months to June 2026 was $254m, down 7.9% on a year earlier, a steeper fall than the 5.2% decline a quarter earlier.

Against its peers on growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet, it grades D. It passes 7 of our 7 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $15.53 a share, against a share price of $22.42. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in about 9.0% a year of cash-flow growth for five years, faster than the -3.7% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 9.3% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the -3.7% a year revenue growth Core Molding Technologies has delivered.

  • Priced in9.3%
  • Last 12 months-7.9%
  • 3 years a year-12.9%
  • 5 years a year-3.7%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($23.15, Nov 3, 2026).

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Core Molding Technologies Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($7.4M, FY2026 Q2 TTM), growing 7.1% and 2.9% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 2% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$13–~$22 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Core Molding Technologies Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $7.4M, FY2026 Q2 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Core Molding Technologies Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.7%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.83 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Moat

27 /100

Weak moat

How hard Core Molding Technologies's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 4 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 4.6% of total assets over 10 years.

    Gross margin has been a median 15.8%, moving by 3.4 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 0 / 20

  • Cash conversion 8 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 6 of 10 years, at a median 4.3% of revenue.

  • Discipline 14 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 9.0% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.7% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (32 before it).
