AVIENT CORPORATION
At today's price, AVIENT CORPORATION (AVNT) is priced for +14.7% growth. boothcheck doesn't publish a fair value or a price target; it shows what the price assumes, so you can judge whether that bar is too high. Built from SEC EDGAR filings.
At $37.69 the price pays about 20x company-wide operating income, which implies roughly 17% operating growth a year for five years. That rate is within what Avient has recently delivered, so the assumption reads as within range rather than heroic, but it leans on the duration holding. The earnings trajectory is the supporting evidence. Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.83 grew 9% and beat the $0.81 guide, on sales up 3% to $847 million, with EBITDA margins expanding even as organic volume stayed soft.
