Fair value: $32.86 (-35.3%), see how we got there

California Resources Corporation trades at $50.80, which is 35% above the $32.86 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.

Our moat model scores it 42 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

A word of warning on reading these figures: a 13F reports the market value of a holding, so a fund that traded nothing at all still appears to have sold when the price fell. We found 102 companies where the standard reading gives the opposite answer. Only the share count is honest.

Common questions

Is California Resources Corporation (CRC) undervalued?

Against our fair value estimate of $32.86, CRC at $50.80 is 35% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.

Which funds own CRC?

9 of the institutions we track reported a position in CRC in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.

Does California Resources Corporation (CRC) pay a dividend?

Yes. California Resources Corporation yields 3.10% at the current share price. It has paid $1.62 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 5 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
