Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $37.69 and expensive above $87.95 (uncertainty high, one part of the fair value is more than twice the other).
The two parts of the fair value come to $75.85 (cash-flow model) and $29.69 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $46.00, at 7.8% it would be $62.96.
