Is Ingles Markets Incorporated overvalued?

What is the price target of Ingles Markets Incorporated (IMKTA)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $108.22, about 26.7% above the current $85.41. 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.
What is the intrinsic value of Ingles Markets Incorporated (IMKTA)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $46.89, a -85.0% margin of safety versus today's $85.41. 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.
What is Ingles Markets Incorporated's revenue?
Ingles Markets Incorporated's trailing twelve-month revenue is $5.40B. 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.
Altman Z-Score?
Ingles Markets Incorporated's Altman Z-Score is 4.46, which places it in the safe zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
