Is NewJersey Resources Corporation overvalued?

NewJersey Resources Corporation carries a Smart Value Score of 61/100 (Grade C+), which we rate Hold. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $31.35 against the $55.82 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for NewJersey Resources Corporation's growth. The Hold rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.

What is the price target of NewJersey Resources Corporation (NJR)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $59.86, about 7.2% above the current $55.82. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the intrinsic value of NewJersey Resources Corporation (NJR)?

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $31.35, a -68.6% margin of safety versus today's $55.82. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.

What is NewJersey Resources Corporation's revenue?

NewJersey Resources Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.18B. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
