What this means
These are two different questions: fair value looks at the business (what it is worth given what it earns) and the odds look at the price over the next month. Danaos sits below fair value and its odds of rising over a month are close to a coin flip. An expensive stock can keep climbing and a cheap one can keep falling, which is why ATLAS shows the two readings separately.
Over the last 52 weeks DAC has traded between $88.36 and $172.76. Today it is 8.6% below that high and 79% above its low.
On the business: revenue grew 2.8% year over year; net margin is 47.4%; it trades at 5.6 times earnings.
Its beta is 0.86: it moves roughly in line with the market.
