Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $12.79 and expensive above $29.84 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $15.86 (cash-flow model) and $19.94 (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 17.1%. At 18.1% the fair value would be $16.85, at 16.1% it would be $19.33.
