INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$13.74
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 7.1x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: SBLK is currently trading at $28.73, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $25.20 to $27.74. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 8.1) compared to its historical average (7.1). At these levels, the market is pricing in 4.3% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, SBLK is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $29.34. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
