Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Exponent, Inc. trades at $69.90, close to the $71.47 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.
Our moat model scores it 70 out of 100, which is a wide moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 30.0 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Estimates are the published analyst consensus and move often. An earnings date is scheduled, not certain, and a share tends to reprice most violently on the day itself.

A word of warning on reading these figures: a 13F reports the market value of a holding, so a fund that traded nothing at all still appears to have sold when the price fell. We found 102 companies where the standard reading gives the opposite answer. Only the share count is honest.

Common questions
Is Exponent, Inc. (EXPO) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $71.47, EXPO at $69.90 is 2% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own EXPO?
8 of the institutions we track reported a position in EXPO in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is EXPO's P/E ratio?
EXPO trades at 30.0 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Exponent, Inc. (EXPO) pay a dividend?
Yes. Exponent, Inc. yields 1.84% at the current share price. It has paid $1.23 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 13 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
When does EXPO report earnings next?
Exponent, Inc. is scheduled to report on 29 Oct 2026. Companies move earnings dates, so read it as scheduled rather than certain.
