Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $55.69 and expensive above $129.94 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $89.28 (cash-flow model) and $66.65 (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 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $70.52, at 7.8% it would be $89.13.
