Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $123.05 and expensive above $228.51 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $180.20 (cash-flow model) and $139.72 (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 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $144.28, at 7.8% it would be $183.53.
