Balchem Corporation (BCPC): score, valuation & FAQ
Balchem Corporation (BCPC) is a Specialty Chemicals company that scores 52.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling 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 D/E (A-), while PEG (D) rate weaker. On valuation, BCPC sits about 65% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 19% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten.
Is BCPC a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores BCPC 52.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by D/E (A-). A score is a quantitative screen of Balchem Corporation'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 BCPC score 52.2 on Bull Rankings?
The score leans on quality at 74.8 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 38.1 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. BCPC earns its highest marks on D/E (A-), and is held back by PEG (D). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so BCPC is measured against Specialty Chemicals peers, not against the market as a whole.
Is BCPC overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $167.83, BCPC sits about 65% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies free cash flow growing about 19% next year, slowing to 4% a year by year ten. It trades at a 33.2x P/E (graded C). 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 BCPC?
Trailing P/E 33x sits well above the S&P median (~20x) — multiple compression is a real risk if revenue growth decelerates.
