Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $129.37 and expensive above $301.85 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $222.09 (excess return model) and $140.13 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is below both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.3%. At 9.3% the fair value would be $162.60, at 7.3% it would be $208.87.
