Is CGNX overvalued?

boothcheck doesn't label CGNX overvalued or undervalued, and it doesn't publish a fair value. It shows what the price assumes instead. At today's price, CGNX is priced for today's economics sustained for about 16 years, and an operating margin near 50.7% versus the 18.5% it earns today. Asset, earnings-power and peer-multiple models all land far below the price; ONLY the growth-DCF reaches it. The bet is durable compounding the static frames structurally cannot price (a moat/durability premium). The more the price assumes beyond what Cognex Corporation has actually delivered, the more has to go right to justify it. Whether that bar is too high is your call, and the full bull and bear cases are in the report.

Derived from Cognex Corporation's SEC EDGAR filings via a reverse-DCF inversion. Last analyzed June 27, 2026.
