Albany International Corporation

Albany International Corporation (AIN) trades at $61.42, on a P/S of 1.5x. Those multiples show what the market is paying for each dollar of earnings and sales, which is the real starting point for judging whether the price is reasonable.

Albany International Corporation carries a Smart Value Score of 43/100 (Grade D), which we rate Sell. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $47.32 against the $61.42 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for Albany International Corporation's growth. The Sell rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $56.67, about 7.7% below the current $61.42. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $47.32, a -24.2% margin of safety versus today's $61.42. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.

Albany International Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $1.21B. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.

Albany International Corporation's Altman Z-Score is 2.24, which places it in the grey zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
