Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $19.99 and expensive above $37.13 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $19.04 (excess return model) and $32.93 (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 $24.40, at 7.8% it would be $28.37.
