We determine the current worth of GATX Corporation using both absolute as well as relative valuation methodologies to arrive at its intrinsic value. In general, an absolute valuation paradigm, as applied to this company, attempts to find the value of GATX based exclusively on its
fundamental and basic
technical indicators. By analyzing GATX's
financials, quarterly and monthly indicators, and related drivers such as
dividends, operating cash flow, and various types of growth rates, we attempt to find the most accurate representation of

In some cases, mostly for established, large-cap companies, we also incorporate more traditional valuation methods such as dividend discount, discounted cash flow, or asset-based models.

technical and
fundamental indicators, relevant financial multiples and ratios, and then
comparing them to GATX's related companies.
