Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $72.12 and expensive above $133.93 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $94.82 (cash-flow model) and $92.68 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly below both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $85.64, at 7.8% it would be $105.94.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (24.1).
