Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $12.27 and expensive above $28.62 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $15.03 (cash-flow model) and $19.31 (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 17.4%. At 18.4% the fair value would be $16.21, at 16.4% it would be $18.46.
Where the number comes from
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (12).
Ten-year cash-flow model from smoothed free cash flow and its past growth until it reaches 10.6%. Discounted at 17.4% (government bond yield 10.6% plus beta 0.84 times a risk premium of 8.2%); no analyst estimates were available.
Calculate with your own assumptionsThe calculation step by step
With these figures the cash flow model arrives at $15.03 per share: free cash flow for the next ten years, each year discounted to today at 17.4%, plus the terminal value for the years after. The table explains the calculation; it is not a recommendation.

| 2031 | $133.87M | extrapolated at 10.6% | 0.4481 | $59.98M |
| 2032 | $148.02M | extrapolated at 10.6% | 0.3816 | $56.49M |

| 2036 | $221.25M | extrapolated at 10.6% | 0.2008 | $44.42M |
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Sum of present values (ten years) | $590.79M |
| Terminal value: cash flow 2036 × (1 + 10.6%) / (17.4% − 10.6%) | $3.57B |
| Present value of terminal value (× 0.2008) | $717.29M |
| Equity value (sum plus present value of terminal value) | $1.31B |
| Shares (diluted) | 87.03M |
| Value per share (equity value divided by shares) | $15.03 |
| Earnings per share at the average net margin (median of the last ten fiscal years applied to revenue of the last twelve months) | $1.61 |
| × 12 (industry P/E) | $19.31 |
| Fair value (average of both parts) | $17.17 |
Earnings are at a cyclical peak. Free cash flow in each year is therefore the average margin of the last ten fiscal years times revenue, in the years with estimates times estimated revenue. The model uses free cash flow after interest, which belongs to shareholders, discounted at the cost of equity. Net debt is therefore not deducted again.
