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 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: SFL is currently trading at $12.39, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $11.44 to $12.36. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 20.5) compared to its historical average (34.5). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 15.9% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, SFL is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $11.43, while resistance sits at $12.79.
Market Sentiment: SFL scores 18/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
