CCH Holdings prices IPO at $4 per share on NASDAQ
When InvestingPro’s Fair Value models flagged Transcat (NASDAQ:TRNS) as significantly overvalued in September 2024, the stock was trading at $128.02. Today, nearly a year later, the precision instruments company’s shares have declined 40%, validating the model’s bearish thesis. This successful prediction demonstrates how Fair Value analysis can help investors identify potential market mispricings and make more informed decisions.

Transcat, a leading provider of accredited calibration, repair, and laboratory instrument services, showed signs of overvaluation despite its strong market position. When InvestingPro’s models identified the mispricing, the company reported revenue of $265.59 million and EBITDA of $37.194 million. While these fundamentals were solid, the stock’s valuation had become stretched, trading at elevated multiples compared to peers.
The subsequent performance proved InvestingPro’s analysis prescient. From the September 2024 alert through September 2025, TRNS shares declined steadily, with particularly sharp drops in October 2024 (-20.9%) and January 2025 (-27.2%). The stock currently trades around $78.18, much closer to InvestingPro’s original Fair Value estimate of $76.68, representing a remarkable 40.1% decline from the alert price.
Recent developments have supported the overvaluation thesis. While Transcat secured a $150 million credit facility and made strategic acquisitions, including Becnel Rental Tools, integration challenges and exposure to cyclical industries have weighed on investor sentiment. The announced retirement of CEO Lee Rudow in March 2026 has added uncertainty, while analyst ratings have been mixed, with several firms reducing their price targets.
