Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $1.17 and expensive above $1.75 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $1.80 (excess return model) and $1.01 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 7.3%. At 8.3% the fair value would be $1.25, at 6.3% it would be $1.63.
Valuation metrics
Half from the excess return model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (8.6).
