Gap to fair value
+28%

Closing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.

In our model the price counts as cheap below $34.65 and expensive above $51.97 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).

The two parts of the fair value come to $30.16 (excess return model) and $52.99 (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 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $39.06, at 7.8% it would be $45.35.
