What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($27.00). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (55/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Sphere Entertainment Co. (SPHR) currently trades at $143.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $21.60, implying the stock looks roughly 562.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the Growth DCF group reads highest at a median of $87.77 per share, and 1 of the 21 models we run sit above the $143.00 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at $7.08, and 20 of the 21 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.

Over the trailing twelve months, Sphere Entertainment Co. generated revenue of $1.3B at a net margin of 8.6%. Revenue grew 37.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.5%. Net debt stands at $440M. Fundamentals as of Aug 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $16.20 (bear case) to $27.00 (bull case); at $143.00, the current price sits above 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 4% below its 52-week high and 278% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −51% fair-value upside, at −85%, SPHR screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 2 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.5388 per share, which is 2.5 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
