Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $49.46 and expensive above $115.41 (uncertainty high, one part of the fair value is more than twice the other).
The two parts of the fair value come to $95.66 (cash-flow model) and $42.83 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $61.37, at 7.8% it would be $81.06.
