Most Popular Narrative: 10% Overvalued

With HF Sinclair at $73.34 and the most followed fair value estimate clustered around $73.29, the narrative places today’s price slightly above its central valuation, while still relying on a detailed forecast of earnings, margins and multiples.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $73.29 for HF Sinclair based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $85.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $54.0.

Want to see what is sitting behind that tight fair value range? The narrative leans heavily on modest revenue growth, thinner margins and a richer future earnings multiple. The tension between shrinking earnings and a higher P/E is where the story gets interesting.

Result: Fair Value of $73.29 (OVERVALUED)

However, there are still governance questions around leadership changes and the auditor review, and HF Sinclair’s breakeven renewables performance could challenge the current fair value narrative.
