Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $82.82 and expensive above $153.81 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $101.66 (excess return model) and $113.68 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 11.2%. At 12.2% the fair value would be $101.59, at 10.2% it would be $115.66.
