Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $97.75 and expensive above $181.54 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $127.85 (cash-flow model) and $126.31 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly above both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $116.07, at 7.8% it would be $143.63.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the sector P/E (22.7).
