Book value is book value. It should attempt to reflect going prices. You should not expect stars to be higher than book value nor commons to be less than book value. The relative value of stars and commons should already be considered.
Fact is, SMR is often completely out of touch with realized prices, even ignoring recent trends. Sometimes it's high, sometimes it's low. Using it, even as a guide, can get you burned.
