If this kind of turnaround story interests you, it could be a good moment to broaden your search and check out fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
So with DXC carrying a long stretch of weak shareholder returns but trading around a 50% discount to one estimate of intrinsic value, is there real upside left here, or is the market already pricing in any future growth?
The widely followed narrative puts DXC Technology’s fair value at US$14.50, slightly below the last close of US$14.65, which frames the stock as marginally rich.
Continued operational efficiency initiatives including broad-based internal application of AI, standardized delivery processes, and ongoing cost discipline are expected to enhance margins and generate strong free cash flow, providing additional capital for reinvestment or shareholder returns.
It may be surprising that a business with shrinking revenue expectations still lands near that fair value mark. The key is how earnings, margins, and future valuation multiples are incorporated into this narrative. This perspective highlights which assumptions carry the most weight and how they connect to the projected earnings base and higher P/E multiple a few years from now.
Result: Fair Value of $14.50 (ABOUT RIGHT)

The consensus narrative pegs DXC Technology at roughly fair value around US$14.50, but the earnings based view tells a different story. At a P/E of 6.8x versus 19.3x for peers and 30.1x for the wider US IT group, and a fair ratio of 18.6x, the gap is wide. That discount can reflect risk, opportunity, or a mix of both.
