Approach 1: Enviri Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model takes estimates of a company’s future cash flows and discounts them back to today’s value to estimate what the stock might be worth now.

For Enviri, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve months free cash flow is a loss of $22.81 million. Analyst estimates and extrapolations suggest free cash flow of $20.95 million by 2028, with further projections out to 2035 based on Simply Wall St’s methodology rather than additional analyst forecasts.

When all those projected cash flows are discounted back to today using this model, the estimated intrinsic value comes out at $16.11 per share. Compared with the recent share price of $20.75, the DCF output implies the stock is about 28.8% above this estimate. This points to Enviri trading on the expensive side by this measure.

Result: OVERVALUED

Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Enviri may be overvalued by 28.8%. Discover 46 high quality undervalued stocks or create your own screener to find better value opportunities.

Approach 2: Enviri Price vs Sales

For companies where earnings are limited or volatile, the P/S ratio is often a useful cross check, because it compares what you pay for the stock with the revenue the business generates today.

In general, higher growth expectations and lower perceived risk can support a higher P/S ratio, while slower growth and higher risk tend to justify a lower multiple as a fair starting point.

Enviri currently trades on a P/S ratio of 0.77x. That sits below the Commercial Services industry average of 1.01x and also below the peer group average of 1.04x, which might initially suggest the stock is priced more conservatively than many competitors.

Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio is a proprietary estimate of what Enviri’s P/S ratio might be, given factors such as its earnings growth profile, industry, profit margins, market capitalization and specific risks. Because it incorporates these company specific drivers, it can be more informative than a simple comparison with peers or the broad industry, which may have very different growth and risk characteristics.

For Enviri, the Fair Ratio is 0.23x, which is meaningfully below the current P/S of 0.77x, indicating the stock looks expensive relative to this tailored benchmark.

Result: OVERVALUED

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your Enviri Narrative

Earlier it was mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation. Narratives bring your view of Enviri together in one place by letting you connect a clear story about the business with a forecast for its future revenue, earnings and margins. This then flows through to a Fair Value that you can easily compare with today’s price on Simply Wall St’s Community page.

Each Narrative is simple to use, because you choose assumptions that match your perspective, whether you lean closer to a more optimistic Fair Value around US$25.00 or a more cautious view near US$19.00. The platform turns that story into numbers that update automatically as new news or earnings are released, so you can see how your Fair Value moves against the live share price.

For Enviri however we will make it really easy for you with previews of two leading Enviri Narratives:

Fair value in this narrative: US$21.83 per share.

Current price vs this fair value: around 5.0% below the narrative fair value, based on the latest close of US$20.75.

Revenue trend assumption in this view: revenue is assumed to decline 22.2% per year.

• Analysts in this camp see the planned US$3b Clean Earth sale as a key event, with their US$21.83 fair value anchored in the idea that the transaction could surface value that is not fully reflected in the current price.
• The narrative refers to improving profit margins over time, with earnings recovering from a reported loss and eventually reaching US$67.1m. That level of earnings is then capitalized at a P/E of 37.1x.
• This view highlights both upside from stronger sustainability and recycling demand and risks such as reliance on cyclical steel markets, execution around the Clean Earth sale, and the drag from Rail contracts.

Fair value in this narrative: US$19.00 per share.

Current price vs this fair value: around 9.2% above the narrative fair value, based on the latest close of US$20.75.

Revenue trend assumption in this view: revenue is assumed to grow 2.6% per year.

• This more cautious narrative ties its US$19.00 fair value to analysts at the lower end of the target range, who focus on execution risk around the Clean Earth sale and the reshaped business that would be left behind.
• It assumes Enviri eventually reaches earnings of US$167.6m and a P/E of 12.3x, but stresses that high reliance on steel and metals clients, an aging asset base, and debt could limit how much of that potential is realized.
• Weakness in Rail and Environmental segments, cost overruns on major contracts, and uncertainty around Clean Earth separation are all identified as factors that could keep the stock closer to this lower fair value anchor.

Once you have a sense of which story feels closer to your own expectations, you can use the full Narratives on Simply Wall St to stress test your assumptions, adjust the inputs and see how your personal fair value for Enviri lines up with the current price and analyst targets.
