The fair value for Dycom Industries (DY) is calculated using my fair value method by applying a 35x Forward P/E multiple to the projected FY2027 Adjusted EPS of $13.20, accounting for the record $9.5 billion backlog and the shift into high-margin data center infrastructure. This results in a fair value of $462.00 USD in local currency. At the current price of $347.23, the stock is trading at a 24.8% discount to its intrinsic value.
