INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$12.76
Trading above historical range
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 11.9x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: NVGS is currently trading at $21.69, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $22.01 to $24.37. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 12.2) is in line with its historical norms (11.9). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.8% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, NVGS is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $20.33, while resistance sits at $24.68.
Market Sentiment: NVGS scores 65/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge — the chart has corrected and is stabilizing (RSI reset, momentum turning up), historically a favorable entry zone. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $25.67 (+21.2%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
