Stock health SideraVIA scores NXST Weak overall (43.1), citing weak quality (40.7) and momentum (34.9), though valuation (60.8) is fairly valued. The stock is down 24.43% from its 52-week high, with RSI(14) at 58.80.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a PREMIUM of 6.50% versus our fair-value estimate of 177.72 and at a discount of 32.35% versus the analyst 12-month target of 251.62. - Trading at a premium to fair value despite weak quality and momentum scores (SideraVIA). - Analyst target implies 32.35% upside, suggesting potential undervaluation relative to growth (analyst count 8.0). - Recent headlines focus on cash returns (Trefis), which may support dividend appeal despite high payout ratio.
Looking forward Forward P/E of 5.41 and EV/EBITDA of 13.00 suggest valuation compression, while PEG of 0.01 indicates potential earnings growth. However, high leverage (Debt/Equity 5.76) and weak Altman Z (0.94) pose risks.
