Valuation

Price
$28.15
Fair value
$23.87
Gap to fair value
+18%

In our model the price counts as cheap below $19.89 and expensive above $29.83 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).

The two parts of the fair value come to $18.56 (excess return model) and $29.17 (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 $22.32, at 7.8% it would be $26.19.
