With the stock trading below its highs despite signs of improvement, investors are left to ask whether Floor & Decor is undervalued after a challenging year or if the market has already priced in a return to growth.

With the most followed narrative estimating a fair value of $82.23, Floor & Decor’s last close of $72.48 suggests sizable upside for the stock if the narrative holds true. This difference between narrative valuation and current price is drawing renewed attention.

Floor & Decor’s ongoing aggressive store expansion strategy, opening 20 new warehouse-format stores this year and at least 20 planned for next year, with the infrastructure to accelerate openings further as housing market conditions improve, positions the company to capture outsized revenue growth and future operating leverage as end-market demand returns.

Is an ambitious store rollout the secret behind the bold valuation? Behind the scenes, forecasts are fueled by projections of bigger profits and expanding margins, plus expectations the company will outgrow rivals and the wider market. Unpack the key levers and see what the consensus thinks drives this premium price target.

Result: Fair Value of $82.23 (UNDERVALUED)

However, persistent weak home sales and slower new store ramp-ups could dampen sentiment and challenge the optimistic outlook reflected in current valuations.

Find out about the key risks to this Floor & Decor Holdings narrative.

Looking at market valuation ratios, Floor & Decor trades at 37 times earnings, more than double the US Specialty Retail average of 16.9 times and well above the fair ratio of 18.4 times. This premium suggests investors expect outsized growth, but it also raises the stakes if those expectations fall short. Is this confidence justified, or does it signal valuation risk?

I test-ride electric kick scooters as a part of my job. They’re fantastic to ride and zip around town, but they are not cool nor particularly comfortable. You’re standing on this L-shaped object, like a meerkat on wheels. Motorcycles, on the other hand? There is no other category of vehicle that oozes this much style, especially one that looks like Maeving’s new RM2.

If you love the roar of a motorbike and the smell of petrol, this electric motorcycle is probably not for you. Seb Inglis-Jones, Maeving’s cofounder, tells me the company is after a demographic of people who perhaps want something more robust than an electric bicycle but not as intense as a gas-powered bike. Someone who may actually prefer the practically silent ride experience (read: me). However, you still need a motorcycle license in the US to ride.

The Maeving RM2 opens up for preorder today in the US for $10,995, a small jump from the prior RM1S and a bigger price bump from the original RM1. They’ll ship in January 2026. It shares the same powertrain as the RM1S, hitting a top speed of 70 miles per hour with an 80-mile range.

However, the RM2’s calling card is the bench seat, so you can finally ride with a passenger. The tank is shorter and wider to accommodate the pillion seat, but you can enjoy a more upright sitting experience. An added boon: You can also add a rear rack and top box for helmet storage.

Electric Start

Maeving was founded in the UK right before the pandemic by Inglis-Jones and Will Stirrup, neither of whom had a background in motorbikes (or vehicles, for that matter). The duo decided to build a company together after meeting at university, with two stipulations. They didn’t want to start a business right out of college with no experience, and whatever they built should in some way help combat climate change. Stirrup went to work in the finance world after college, and Inglis-Jones dove into a sales and marketing career.
