Valuation
Valuation signal
Possible value trapIn our model the price counts as cheap below $115.84 and expensive above $215.13 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $163.76 (cash-flow model) and $137.43 (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 $136.35, at 7.8% it would be $172.01.
Possible value trap: looks cheap, but weak growth.
Valuation metrics
