Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $67.42 and expensive above $101.12 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $81.04 (cash-flow model) and $80.75 (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 7.4%. At 8.4% the fair value would be $72.03, at 6.4% it would be $96.68.
Valuation metrics
Half from the dividend model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (19.6).
