AlphaMadera's AlphaVal page computes SM Energy Company's fair value using a multi-method blend (DCF, comparable-multiples, and Graham-style intrinsic value), then compares it to the current market price to flag SM as undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued.

What is SM Energy Company's fair value?

Fair value for SM is a model output combining discounted cash flow projections, peer-group multiples, and a Graham number floor. The live AlphaVal page shows the blended fair value alongside each method's individual estimate.

How does AlphaMadera value SM?

AlphaVal uses three primary techniques: a five-year discounted-cash-flow projection with terminal multiple, peer-group multiple analysis (P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/S), and Graham's defensive-investor intrinsic-value formula. Inputs come from SM's most recent reported fundamentals.

Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses a valuation based on free cash flow under different commodity price assumptions and a valuation multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $34.55 from 54 analysts, using a 35% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $36.82 per share.

Warnings

⚠ Debt per share ($16.77) is significant relative to the stock price. Even small changes in the debt figure meaningfully shift what each share is worth.

ℹ Where you think oil prices will settle long-term drives over 80% of this valuation. The biggest risk isn't the company itself — it's getting the commodity price wrong.

Key Risks

Growth DCF inappropriate — commodity volumes do not compound
Geopolitical premiums are real but historically temporary
Reserve replacement ratio below 100% for 3 years is existential
