White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 26, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $10.44 – $31.68 · fair‑value band $22.30 – $37.15 · the $30.08 price screens above the $29.72 fair value. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 26, 2026.
Analysis
BlackRock Science and Technology Term Trust (BSTZ) currently trades at $30.08, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $29.72, implying the stock looks roughly 1.2% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Net debt stands at $16.8M. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 6.5. Fundamentals as of Jul 26, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $22.30 (bear case) to $37.15 (bull case); at $30.08, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 6% below its 52-week high and 73% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at -1%, BSTZ screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 8 models by family
Widest divergence: Earnings-Based ($160.05) versus Asset-Based ($16.74). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
