Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $60.46 and expensive above $90.69 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $78.84 (cash-flow model) and $66.27 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is below both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $65.98, at 7.8% it would be $82.41.
