StoneX Group (SNEX): Valuation Check After Caliber Picks It for Digital Asset Treasury Platform

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Caliber’s decision to tap StoneX Group (SNEX) as an institutional platform for its Digital Asset Treasury strategy puts a fresh spotlight on StoneX’s Prime offering and its role in institutional grade crypto infrastructure.

See our latest analysis for StoneX Group.

The partnership news lands while the share price sits at $95.73 after a modest pullback this week, but that comes on top of a strong year to date share price return of over 40 percent and a standout multi year total shareholder return profile that suggests momentum is still broadly building.

If this deal has you thinking about who else might be quietly compounding in the background, it could be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With shares up more than 50 percent over the past year and trading only a few percent below analyst targets, is StoneX still flying under the radar for value focused investors, or is the market already discounting years of future growth?

Price-to-Earnings of 16.9x: Is it justified?

Based on a price to earnings ratio of 16.9x and a last close of $95.73, StoneX screens modestly cheaper than broad US markets and sector peers, but not by a wide margin.

The price to earnings ratio compares the company’s share price with its earnings. This can be a useful shorthand for how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of profit in a capital markets business like StoneX.

At 16.9x earnings, investors are paying slightly less than the wider US market multiple of 19x. StoneX’s profits have grown at a solid double digit pace over both the past year and past five years, with earnings also forecast to continue growing, albeit at a more moderate rate than the broader US market.

The picture becomes more nuanced when set against valuation benchmarks. While StoneX trades below the US Capital Markets industry average multiple of 25.5x, it is also a touch richer than the estimated fair price to earnings ratio of 16.1x, a level the market could gravitate toward if enthusiasm cools or growth expectations moderate.

Result: Price-to-Earnings of 16.9x (ABOUT RIGHT)

However, sustained multiple expansion still hinges on continued double digit earnings growth and stable trading conditions; any stumble could quickly compress StoneX’s valuation premium.

Another View: DCF Points to Overvaluation

While the earnings multiple looks broadly reasonable, our DCF model presents a starker picture, suggesting fair value closer to $43.70 versus today’s $95.73. That implies StoneX could be trading at more than double its modeled worth and raises the question: what is the market really paying up for?
