Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $47.00 and expensive above $87.28 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $60.49 (cash-flow model) and $61.70 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly above both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 10.2%. At 11.2% the fair value would be $56.86, at 9.2% it would be $66.92.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (28.5).
