Approach 1: MYR Group Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

Approach 1: MYR Group Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model takes projected future cash flows and then discounts them back to today using a required return to estimate what those future dollars are worth in the present.

For MYR Group, the model uses a 2 stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is $239.38 million. Analysts and extrapolated estimates feed into a cash flow path that includes projected free cash flow of $383.00 million in 2030, with interim annual figures such as $194.90 million in 2026 and $218.50 million in 2027. Beyond the explicit analyst years, Simply Wall St extrapolates further free cash flow out to 2035 based on the earlier pattern.

When all these projected cash flows are discounted back and summed, the resulting intrinsic value comes out at $414.05 per share. Compared with the current share price of about $468.54, the DCF output suggests MYR Group is around 13.2% overvalued on this model.

Approach 2: MYR Group Price vs Earnings

For profitable companies, the P/E ratio is a straightforward way to link what you pay for each share to the earnings that support that price. A higher or lower P/E often reflects what the market is factoring in about future growth and the risk that those earnings might not materialize or could be volatile.

MYR Group currently trades on a P/E of 51.41x. That sits above the Construction industry average P/E of 48.21x and above the peer group average of 35.09x, which points to the market assigning a richer earnings multiple to this stock than to many of its sector peers.

Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio for MYR Group is 29.17x. This is a proprietary estimate of what a reasonable P/E might be for the stock, based on factors such as its earnings growth profile, industry, profit margins, market cap and key risks. Because it is tailored to the company’s own fundamentals rather than just broad sector comparisons, the Fair Ratio can give a more targeted sense of whether the current P/E is stretched or conservative. With the actual P/E of 51.41x sitting well above the Fair Ratio of 29.17x, the multiple based view suggests the stock is pricing in a lot.

Result: OVERVALUED
