How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 15.3x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: DNOW is currently trading at $13.96, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $14.47 to $16.27. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 18.2) compared to its historical average (15.3). At these levels, the market is pricing in 6.1% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, DNOW is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $12.97, while resistance sits at $16.75.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 59/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $17.75 (+24.6%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
