A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a company is worth by projecting the cash it can generate in the future and then discounting those cash flows back to today in dollar terms.
For SharkNinja, the model uses last twelve month Free Cash Flow of about $373 million and applies a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. Analyst forecasts underpin the nearer term outlook, with projected FCF rising to around $1.20 billion by 2029. Later years are extrapolated by Simply Wall St based on gradually slowing growth assumptions.
After discounting these projected cash flows back to today, the model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of roughly $163.26 per share. Compared with the recent share price of about $108, this implies the stock is trading at a 33.6% discount to the DCF estimate, indicating potential upside if the cash flow trajectory occurs as modeled.
Result: UNDERVALUED

For profitable companies like SharkNinja, the price to earnings, or P E, ratio is a useful way to gauge whether investors are paying a reasonable price for each dollar of current earnings. A higher P E can be justified when the market expects stronger growth or sees the business as relatively low risk, while slower growth or higher uncertainty usually warrants a lower, more conservative multiple.
SharkNinja currently trades on a P E of about 26.6x, which is well above the broader Consumer Durables industry average of roughly 11.4x and slightly above the peer group average of around 26.4x. To move beyond these simple comparisons, Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary Fair Ratio, which estimates what P E the market should reasonably pay given SharkNinja's earnings growth outlook, margins, industry, size, and risk profile. For SharkNinja, this Fair Ratio is 22.0x, notably below the current 26.6x. That gap suggests the shares are pricing in more optimism than our fundamentals based Fair Ratio would support.
Result: OVERVALUED

Earlier we mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation, so let's introduce you to Narratives, which are simply the stories investors tell about a company that link their view of its future (revenue, earnings and margins) to a fair value estimate. On Simply Wall St's Community page, millions of investors use Narratives as an easy, accessible tool to turn their perspective on a business into a structured forecast and a clear Fair Value. This can then be compared against the current share price to help decide whether to buy, hold, or sell. Each Narrative connects what you believe about a company, the financial model that follows from those beliefs, and the price you think is reasonable today. It then updates dynamically as new information like earnings releases or news hits the market. With SharkNinja, for example, one investor Narrative might lean toward the higher fair value implied by bullish targets around $175, while another could be anchored closer to the more cautious $117 view. The platform helps you see how those different stories translate into numbers so you can choose, refine, or build your own.
