Significantly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $23.45 and expensive above $43.55 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $37.86 (cash-flow model) and $23.11 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.
