Gap to fair value
+79%

In our model the price counts as cheap below $78.34 and expensive above $182.79 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).

The two parts of the fair value come to $147.15 (cash-flow model) and $72.20 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.

Calculated with a cost of equity of 10.9%. At 11.9% the fair value would be $99.40, at 9.9% it would be $123.40.
