Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $24.94 and expensive above $58.20 (uncertainty high, one part of the fair value is more than twice the other).
The two parts of the fair value come to $48.50 (cash-flow model) and $21.33 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 9.2%. At 10.2% the fair value would be $31.12, at 8.2% it would be $40.46.
