Frequently asked questions

Is TRC overvalued?

TRC scores 33/100 on our Smart Value Score (Grade F), a weak overall profile. The DCF also shows a positive margin of safety, so price and fundamentals line up reasonably well.

What is TRC's fair value?

Our DCF model estimates TRC's intrinsic value at $30.85 per share, versus the current price of $19.29, a margin of safety of +46.09%. Fair value is the present value of the cash flows we project the business to produce, so a price below it means the market is pricing the stock below that conservative estimate.

What P/E ratio does TRC trade at?

TRC trades at a P/E of 319.5x on trailing twelve-month earnings, against a 5-year median of 95.4x. P/E is what you pay per dollar of profit, and sitting above its own median means the stock is pricier than usual relative to its earnings.

Is TRC a buy based on valuation?

Our Smart Value rating for TRC is Strong Sell, from a Smart Value Score of 33/100 that blends growth, quality, and valuation. The profile skews cautious, and a better price or clearer operating improvement would strengthen the case. This is research to inform your decision, not personalized financial advice.

On P/E, TRC sits in the 100th percentile of its own 5Y range, historically expensive relative to where it has traded. A high percentile means today's multiple is near the top of its historical band.
