Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into AME?
At today's price, AMETEK, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 23.1% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 9.12% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 11.3% a year, so the market is asking for 11.8 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis AME looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

AMETEK, Inc. is currently running 14.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against AME's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 24th percentile — unusually subdued by its own history, against a typical reading of 19.1%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
AME is trading -3.4% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -16.0%, and the deepest was -42.9% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.
Price sits +8.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 61st percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year AME closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 3 sessions into a rising streak.
On October specifically: over 13 years of records, AME finished the month higher 9 of 13 times, with a median return of +5.7% and an average of +1.9%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.2% on average, its weakest March at -1.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: AME has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 88 of 3,266 sessions (2.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.0% and -11.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, AME moved an average of 1.1% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -0.5% and a largest of -2.8%.
All figures computed from 3,267 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-13, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against AME's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
