Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
A fair value is not meaningful here, so the signal follows the valuation grade.
Valuation metrics
The model puts the fair value at less than a quarter of the share price. That says more about the assumptions than about the company, so a fair value is not meaningful here and the valuation relies on the P/E and the other metrics.
