What is Astrana Health worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Astrana Health's most-likely value is about $57 versus a recent price near $38 (52% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$21) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Fairly priced — no edge
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ $38
Fair value (most likely)
$57
Range
$34–$134
No-growth floor
$21
Price
~$38

Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.

⚠ High leverage — net debt is 5.9× annual cash flow. Net debt is subtracted from this fair value, but refinancing at higher rates, principal timing, and share dilution aren’t modeled — the equity can be worth far less if cash flow weakens.

Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
