With Garrett Motion now trading close to a consensus price target and flagged by at least one model as significantly overvalued, the key question is simple: is there still a mispricing to exploit or is the market already factoring in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 52.9% Overvalued

The most widely followed narrative puts Garrett Motion's fair value at $22.17, well below the last close of $33.90. This frames the recent rally as rich against its modeled cash flows.

Ongoing innovation and proof of concept awards in zero emission technologies (E-Powertrain, E-Cooling, and fuel cell compressors) and expansion in industrial/non-automotive end markets are positioning Garrett to capture higher-margin business opportunities and diversified growth, supporting both revenue and future margin expansion.

Want to see what revenue trajectory, margin uplift, and future earnings multiple are embedded in that fair value? The full narrative lays out a detailed, numbers driven roadmap that contrasts sharply with where the stock trades today.

Result: Fair Value of $22.17 (OVERVALUED)

However, this roadmap still depends on Garrett Motion easing margin pressure from its sales mix and growing newer zero emission products quickly enough to offset its dependence on ICE.

Another View: Market Ratios Point To A Tighter Picture

While the leading narrative says Garrett Motion is 52.9% overvalued versus a fair value of $22.17, the current P/E of 18.5x tells a more mixed story. It is slightly below the fair ratio of 18.9x and the US Auto Components industry average of 19.1x, yet above the peer average of 14.8x.

In practice, that means the stock is priced close to where the broader market might expect it to trade, but on a richer multiple than more direct peers. This raises the question of whether recent momentum justifies paying above that peer mark.
