Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $24.55 and expensive above $73.66 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $37.03 (cash-flow model) and $36.63 (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 11.7%. At 12.7% the fair value would be $34.59, at 10.7% it would be $39.73.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (38.9).
