Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $9.86 and expensive above $23.00 (uncertainty high, one part of the fair value is more than twice the other).
The two parts of the fair value come to $2.21 (excess return model) and $25.40 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $13.62, at 7.8% it would be $14.08.
