Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly undervaluedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $20.54 and expensive above $30.81 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $28.28 (excess return model) and $21.01 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is below both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $22.29, at 7.8% it would be $28.18.
Valuation metrics
Half from the excess return model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (12.2).
