The Conscience Overlay
Conscience flag · AFSC Investigate
The quantitative screen above is arithmetic and this name passes it. Separately, community boycott lists cite this company: Documented on AFSC Investigate. The desk records that flag here without folding it into the verdict: the screen measures the balance sheet, the overlay informs the conscience, and they are different judgements that belong to different owners. The second one is yours.
What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads OVERVALUED: it trades at roughly a 14% discount to our $724.94 fair value, narrow competitive moat, 9.80% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-08-21 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 14.0% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 12 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +19% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Both our model and the analysts see meaningful upside from here.
Price History & Projections
Where it has been, where the models see it going. History from market close data; projection points are our fair-value estimates and third-party analyst targets, dated to the 2026-08-21 screen.

The Business, in Plain Words
Sensors Powering Industry Face a Steep Price
Picture the infrared cameras and digital sensors quietly enabling factory automation and medical imaging across continents. Teledyne delivers those enabling technologies with steady 8% revenue growth and a clean ethical screen, yet the shares sit at 24.4 times forward earnings while the opportunity rating flags them overvalued against a narrow moat and modest 9% return on equity.
That combination leaves little room for error. Profit margins of 15% look respectable, but the low return on capital and limited competitive edge suggest the business may struggle to compound value faster than the current price already assumes.
Analyst targets cluster near 750, yet history shows narrow-moat industrial suppliers often trade down when growth slows or cycles turn. The 12% gap to stated fair value does not change the overvalued verdict at these multiples.
