10-Q filed July 28: Reliance

Revenue for the twelve months to June 2026 reached $17.4bn, up 24.7% on a year earlier and ahead of the 15.4% growth posted a quarter earlier. Behind that top line, the free-cash-flow margin slipped to 2.8% from 4.8%. A 3.1% reduction in the diluted share count over the year lifts the claim on each remaining share. Our fundamentals grade improves from C+ to B. Model value sits little changed at $336 a share, against a share price of $426, and the rating moves from Hold to Sell. At $426, the model implies the market is pricing in roughly 11.1% a year of cash-flow growth over five years, well above the 4.3% a year revenue growth delivered to date.

It passes 6 of our 7 financial-health checks. Our cash-flow model value is $317 a share, against a share price of $416.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~January 20, 2027 (estimated)

Reliance, Inc.'s trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 24.7% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 2.8%. Where it stands out: operating margin of 8.8% ranks 3 of 11 steel companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$360 per share in the base case (~$270–$490 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow fell 25.7% while net income grew 52.0%: a 78pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Fast growth. Revenue grew 24.7% over the last 12 months, against a median of 14.2% for steel companies we cover.
  • Growth speeding up. The growth rate is 9.3 points higher than a quarter earlier.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 3.1% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Estimates rising. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has risen 13.3% over 90 days.

Things to watch

  • Insiders selling. 5 insiders sold $16M of stock over the past 365 days and none bought (0% under pre-set trading plans).
  • Weak cash conversion. Free cash flow was 44% of net income over the last 12 months.
  • Earnings expected to fall. The consensus expects earnings per share to fall 5% next year.

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 12.0% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is faster than the 4.3% a year revenue growth Reliance has delivered.

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 ($444.50, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Reliance, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($822M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 8% and 6.2% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 10.4% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$270–~$490 ; 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 Reliance, Inc.'s free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $822M, FY2026 Q3 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 Reliance, Inc. as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 9.1%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.91 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Reliance, Inc.’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Options look fairly priced

Implied volatility is within its normal range against realised. Selling options earns the usual premium, nothing extra.

  • Implied is 1.09× the last 60 days’ realised volatility , richer than 32% of the 229 stocks we screen today.
  • Why: implied is not far enough above realised, or not unusual against our coverage.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade B (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Not offered: no liquid put and call pair for the same expiry.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
