    Listen to the news

    Recent performance context

    Without a specific headline event to point to, ProPetro Holding (PUMP) still stands out for investors watching performance. The stock shows positive returns over the past week, month and past 3 months, alongside double digit annual revenue and net income growth.

    See our latest analysis for ProPetro Holding.

    With the share price at US$14.69, ProPetro’s recent trend is firmly upward, with a 30 day share price return of 21.1% and a 90 day share price return of 58.6%, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 99.1% points to strong momentum rather than a short term bounce.

    The question now is simple but important: with ProPetro trading at US$14.69, close to analyst targets yet flagged with a potential intrinsic discount, are you looking at a genuine value gap or a stock where the market is already pricing in future growth?

    Most Popular Narrative: 8.4% Overvalued

    ProPetro’s most followed narrative puts fair value at about $13.56, a touch below the current $14.69 share price, which sets up a more cautious valuation story.

    Early traction and long-term visibility in the PROPWR power business, including the recent 10-year, 80-megawatt contract and confidence in fully deploying 220 megawatts by end of 2025, expands addressable markets and creates a stable, recurring cash flow stream, expected to drive sustained revenue and margin growth.

    Read the complete narrative.

    Want to see what sits behind that cash flow story? The fair value hinges on how revenue, margins and future earnings are modeled off those power contracts.

    The narrative uses a discount rate of about 7.3%, ties fair value to higher modeled revenue growth and a much stronger profit margin profile, and then applies a future P/E that is lower than the broader US Energy Services industry. That combination explains why the resulting $13.56 estimate lands below today’s $14.69 price, even though the company screens as undervalued against some other cash flow based models.

    Result: Fair Value of $13.56 (OVERVALUED)

    However, you also need to weigh risks such as pressure from an oversupplied Permian pumping market and potential delays in PROPWR contracts or capital deployment.

    Another way to look at value

    The 8.4% premium to the US$13.56 fair value derived from the narrative contrasts sharply with our DCF model, which estimates ProPetro at US$18.63 per share. On that view, the current US$14.69 price sits at a 21.1% discount. Which set of assumptions do you find more convincing?
