Valuation
Valuation signal
Possible value trapIn our model the price counts as cheap below $35.02 and expensive above $81.71 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $45.49 (cash-flow model) and $52.56 (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 10.9%. At 11.9% the fair value would be $46.14, at 9.9% it would be $52.87.
Possible value trap: looks cheap, but high risk.
Valuation metrics
