Find out why Sarepta Therapeutics's -56.5% return over the last year is lagging behind its peers.
A Discounted Cash Flow model projects a company’s future cash flows and then discounts them back to today’s value, giving an estimate of what the business might be worth per share based on those projected dollars.
For Sarepta Therapeutics, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is a loss of $305.09 million, so the story here hinges on future cash generation rather than current profits. Analyst and extrapolated projections, provided by Simply Wall St, point to free cash flow of $353 million in 2026, rising through the forecast period to an estimated $466 million in 2030, all in $ and all below $1b, so still in the hundreds of millions range.
When those projected cash flows are discounted back to today using the DCF model, the resulting intrinsic value is about $76.31 per share. Compared with the recent share price around $22.80, the model implies Sarepta trades at roughly a 70.1% discount, which screens as significantly undervalued on this metric.
Result: UNDERVALUED
Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Sarepta Therapeutics is undervalued by 70.1%. Track this in your watchlist or portfolio, or discover 62 more high quality undervalued stocks.
For companies where earnings are not yet positive or are highly volatile, the P/S ratio is often a more practical valuation tool than P/E. It looks at how much investors are paying for each dollar of revenue, which can be especially useful for biotech names that are still working toward consistent profitability.
In general, higher growth potential and lower perceived risk tend to justify a higher P/S multiple, while slower growth and higher risk usually support a lower, more conservative multiple. Sarepta Therapeutics currently trades on a P/S ratio of 1.09x. This is well below the Biotechs industry average P/S of 11.11x and the peer group average of 12.45x.
Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio for Sarepta is 0.88x. This is a proprietary estimate of what a reasonable P/S multiple could be for the company after accounting for factors such as earnings growth, industry, profit margins, market capitalization and specific risks. Because it is tailored to the company’s profile, the Fair Ratio can be more informative than a simple comparison with peers or the broad industry. With the current 1.09x P/S compared with a Fair Ratio of 0.88x, the shares screen as somewhat expensive on this metric.
Result: OVERVALUED

Earlier it was mentioned that there is an even better way to think about valuation, and that is through Narratives. Narratives let you attach a clear story about Sarepta Therapeutics to concrete numbers like your own fair value, revenue, earnings and margin expectations, then see how that story stacks up against the current price.
A Narrative on Simply Wall St is essentially your thesis written into a simple forecast, so that your view of ELEVIDYS demand, LGMD and siRNA opportunities, safety and regulatory risk, and future profitability is translated into an explicit fair value that you can compare directly with the live share price to help decide whether Sarepta looks priced above or below your expectations.
These Narratives live inside the Community section on the platform, are used by millions of investors and update automatically when new earnings, clinical data, guidance or news are reflected in the underlying models. This means your fair value view stays aligned with the latest information rather than becoming stale.
For Sarepta today, one investor might anchor on a lower fair value close to the US$5 analyst low target because they focus on safety concerns and execution risk. Another might lean toward a higher fair value near US$209 because they are more optimistic about ELEVIDYS, DM1 and broader gene therapy adoption. Narratives help you see exactly which assumptions separate those two views.
For Sarepta Therapeutics, however, we will make it really easy for you with previews of two leading Sarepta Therapeutics Narratives:
