AlphaMadera's AlphaVal page computes Central Garden & Pet Company's fair value using a multi-method blend (DCF, comparable-multiples, and Graham-style intrinsic value), then compares it to the current market price to flag CENT as undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued.

What is Central Garden & Pet Company's fair value?

Fair value for CENT is a model output combining discounted cash flow projections, peer-group multiples, and a Graham number floor. The live AlphaVal page shows the blended fair value alongside each method's individual estimate.

How does AlphaMadera value CENT?

Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses a valuation based on adjusted earnings per share and a normalized price-to-earnings multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $54.00 from 10 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $52.84 per share.

Key Risks

Growth DCF inappropriate — terminal value assumptions dominate
EV/EBITDA misleading for regulated businesses where capex is mandated
Regulatory risk is a fat tail not visible in normal multiples
