Ametek grows earnings steadily with EPS guidance raised to $8.14 in 2026. It keeps buying companies to grow its business. The company raised its quarterly dividend to $0.34 per share. Profit and cash flow remain solid despite a mild market pullback.
Ametek cut guidance recently, showing risks to earnings growth. Acquisitions may not add enough value. Market headwinds could slow revenue growth below 7.6% expected by analysts.
The price is about 2% above our fair value near $237. Analysts expect about 8% revenue growth. Our fair value is 10% below the Street median, so the market is fairly priced.
Breaks if: Dividend falls below $0.31 per share quarterly
Breaks if: EPS falls below $7.06 in FY26

A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a durable compounder with a focus on growth through strategic acquisitions and consistent earnings growth. The current thesis is in a watch state, reflecting both recent performance and sector dynamics.
Valuation is considered expensive compared to peers, with a slight expectations gap indicating that the market has priced in some growth potential. The current premium suggests that investors are expecting continued strong performance.
Management is on track to achieve double-digit earnings per share growth and has successfully integrated recent acquisitions. However, there is a low probability of missing earnings expectations, although the company operates in a high-miss-rate industry.
The thesis hinges on sector performance, particularly the results and guidance from key industry players like ETN, VRT, and BE. Any changes in their performance could significantly impact AME's momentum.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Yes, our read has strengthened. The latest earnings beat supports a positive outlook. Strong sales likely lead to increased EPS guidance. There are no new threats impacting the thesis.
