How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Oil-dri Corp Of America's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($38.8M, FY2026 Q4 TTM), growing 3.9% a year for five years and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$52–~$93 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Oil-dri Corp Of America's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $38.8M, FY2026 Q4 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 Oil-dri Corp Of America as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 7.7%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.6 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.
