Valuation
Valuation signal
Possible value trapClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $19.01 and expensive above $44.35 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $25.98 (cash-flow model) and $27.24 (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 10%. At 11% the fair value would be $24.73, at 9% it would be $29.23.
Possible value trap: looks cheap, but high risk.
Valuation metrics
