Valuation
Valuation signal
Possible value trapIn our model the price counts as cheap below $52.55 and expensive above $122.62 (uncertainty high, one part of the fair value is more than twice the other).
The two parts of the fair value come to $113.83 (cash-flow model) and $33.31 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.7%. At 9.7% the fair value would be $65.48, at 7.7% it would be $84.88.
Possible value trap: looks cheap, but weak growth.
