Why now
Food Distribution · market cap $2.3b. 17% off the 52-week high of $82.11. PEG 0.89 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 3 sell-side analysts publish a mean 1-yr target of $88.33 (implying +30% upside).
Moat
ROE 13% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere.
Risk
Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
Horizon
1-3 yr $88.33 (3-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $111.52 at ~10% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $143.02 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Forward EPS estimate$6.27

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect ANDE to earn is materially higher (+5.5%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

The Andersons, Inc. (ANDE): score, valuation & FAQ

The Andersons, Inc. (ANDE) is a Food Distribution company that scores 64.9 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A-), D/E (B+) and PEG (B+), while FCF (C-) rate weaker. On valuation, ANDE sits about 103% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 20% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is ANDE a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores ANDE 64.9 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by P/E (A-), D/E (B+) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of The Andersons, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does ANDE score 64.9 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). ANDE earns its highest marks on P/E (A-), D/E (B+) and PEG (B+), and is held back by FCF (C-). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is ANDE overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $68.06, ANDE sits about 103% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 20% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 13.2x P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in ANDE?

Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
