Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $8.87 and expensive above $13.30 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $8.68 (excess return model) and $12.61 (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 $9.92, at 7.8% it would be $11.73.
