With leasing activity picking up, a recent high end asset sale completed, and the share price still showing double digit declines over 1 year and year to date, is SL Green undervalued today or already pricing in any future recovery?
Most Popular Narrative: 28.9% Undervalued
SL Green Realty’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at about $51.83 versus the last close of $36.85. This frames a sizeable valuation gap for investors to assess.
Portfolio optimization and disciplined capital recycling, including strategic dispositions and realizing significant gains on debt and preferred equity investments, are strengthening liquidity, setting the stage for new accretive investments, and reducing interest expense to enhance future earnings growth.
Curious what kind of revenue reset, margin rebuild, and future earnings multiple need to line up for that fair value to make sense? The narrative leans on specific assumptions about shrinking top line, improving profitability, and a much richer valuation multiple a few years out. If you want to see exactly how those moving parts fit together, the full story is in the numbers behind that $51.83 figure.
Result: Fair Value of $51.83 (UNDERVALUED)

However, you also need to weigh risks like persistent high interest costs and uncertain leasing or move outs, which could pressure margins and undercut the recovery story.

Another Angle On Value: Sales Multiple Sends A Different Signal
While the narrative points to a fair value of $51.83 and an undervalued setup, the current P/S ratio of 2.8x tells a more mixed story. It sits above the US Office REITs industry at 1.9x and the 2.6x fair ratio estimate, even though it is below the 3.1x peer average. That gap suggests some valuation risk if sentiment tilts closer to the sector, so you need to decide which reference point you trust most.
