SM Energy Company (SM) — Available-Data Snapshot

We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow fair value for SM Energy Company (SM) because the free data sources we rely on don't expose the multi-year financials a DCF needs — common for small or thinly-covered listings. Rather than invent numbers, this page shows an honest snapshot of what the public data does support: the current price and size, any relative valuation multiples that exist, a book-value view, and a price-based read. Treat it as a descriptive starting point, not a valuation and not investment advice.

On the numbers we do have, SM trades at a recent price of $38.29, a market capitalisation of about $9,107,432,448, sitting 97% of the way up its 52-week range ($17.45–$38.94), on the NYSE.

The standard alternative to a DCF is relative valuation — comparing SM's trading multiples against a sector benchmark. Here that gives P/E of 6.7× (cheaper than the peer median of 20.3×); Fwd P/E of 5.1× (cheaper than the peer median of 15.4×); P/B of 1.2× (cheaper than the peer median of 2.5×); P/S of 1.8× (cheaper than the peer median of 2.4×); EV/EBITDA of 5.0× (cheaper than the peer median of 8.9×); Dividend yield of 2.3% (in line with the peer median of 2.5%). A cheaper multiple than peers can flag a discount or a market that expects weaker growth; it is a comparison, not a recommendation.

The asset, or book-value, lens is the classic tool for asset-heavy businesses and financials. SM shows a price-to-book (P/B) of 1.16 and book value of $32.90 per share. Price-to-book compares the market price to the accounting net-asset value per share; below 1.0 can mean a discount to net assets or that the market is pricing in trouble — descriptive either way, never a buy signal on its own.

Finally, a price-based read — explicitly not a valuation. SM is in an up-trend (price above both its 50- and 200-day averages), trading -1.7% from its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock is +34.8%. Moving-average trend and 52-week position describe where the stock has traded; they say nothing about what it is worth.
