Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into DINO?

CHEAP

At today's price, HF Sinclair Corporation needs to grow free cash flow about 12.9% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.51% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 22.6% a year, so the market is asking for 9.7 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis DINO looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Up days (1y)
57%

HF Sinclair Corporation is currently running 41.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against DINO's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 66th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 35.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

DINO is trading -1.6% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -34.5%, and the deepest was -66.3% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +61.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 99th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year DINO closed higher on 57% of sessions, and it is currently 4 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, DINO finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -0.3% and an average of +1.1%. Its strongest month historically has been July at +6.3% on average, its weakest December at -3.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: DINO has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 259 of 3,267 sessions (7.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.6% and -10.7%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against DINO's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
