DNOW Inc. (US67059N1087) ended September 16, 2026 at USD 15.60, down 3.1 percent, after GuruFocus said the stock traded 3.7 percent below its GF Value estimate of USD 16.20. Simply Wall St also put fair value at USD 18.75 on September 17, 2026, a gap that keeps valuation at the center for DNOW stock.

Valuation gap stays open

GuruFocus said DNOW had a GF Score of 81 out of 100 and a 52-week range of USD 10.94 to USD 17.26. It also flagged insider sales of USD 7.5 million over the past 12 months, with no insider purchases, which adds a second cautionary data point for investors.

Simply Wall St said the stock was down about 3 percent over the past month but still up roughly 16 percent year to date. The same note said DNOW's November 20, 2026 USD 22.50 put contract showed some of the highest implied volatility in the equity market, a reminder that options activity is now part of the story.

Price action and range

For the last completed session, the reference price was USD 15.60 on the NYSE, with GuruFocus also pointing to the 52-week span from USD 10.94 to USD 17.26. That leaves the stock closer to the top of its yearly band than to the low, even after the 3.1 percent daily drop.

Stock level into the close

DNOW stock was at USD 15.60 on September 16, 2026, and the quoted range shows the share price moving within a corridor of USD 10.94 to USD 17.26. The next move will likely depend more on valuation and options positioning than on the one-day drop alone.
