Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $210.21 and expensive above $630.63 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $393.90 (cash-flow model) and $236.73 (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 10.5%. At 11.5% the fair value would be $286.65, at 9.5% it would be $354.28.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (28.5).
