What matters now
- Weak quality (39/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The price sits in the upper half of our model range, so the margin of safety is thin.
- Read the verdict with care: some models are missing inputs, so the estimate scatters more than usual.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $4.80 – $11.63 · fair‑value band $7.34 – $12.70 · the $10.19 price screens above the $7.34 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 19, 2026.
Analysis
SunCoke Energy Inc (SXC) currently trades at $10.19, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.34, implying the stock looks roughly 38.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 39/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Dividend Discount group reads highest at a median of $5.17 per share, and 2 of the 11 models we run sit above the $10.19 price. Bear case: the DCF Models group reads lowest at $1.55, and 9 of the 11 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, SunCoke Energy Inc generated revenue of $1.9B at a net margin of −3.6%. Revenue grew 4.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −9.3%. Net debt stands at $597M. Fundamentals as of Aug 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $7.34 (bear case) to $12.70 (bull case); at $10.19, 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 near its 52-week high and 87% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −51% fair-value upside, at −28%, SXC screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
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.
All 14 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount ($5.17) versus DCF Models ($1.55). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 35 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 72
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.
