Analysis
Valaris Limited (VAL) currently trades at $78.78, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $63.09, implying the stock looks roughly 19.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Energy 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).
Over the trailing twelve months, Valaris Limited generated revenue of $2.2B at a net margin of 45.4%. Revenue declined 25.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 37.2%. Net debt stands at $590M. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $45.19 (bear case) to $80.99 (bull case); at $78.78, 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 31% below its 52-week high and 92% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -55% fair-value upside, at -20%, VAL 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($179.13) versus Asset-Based ($30.67). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
