In our model the price counts as cheap below $420.47 and expensive above $780.88 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).

The two parts of the fair value come to $633.93 (cash-flow model) and $459.31 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.

Company outlook mixed

Share price after the results: −8.7%

Free cash flow guidance was raised, but recurring net new sales in sustainability and climate are expected to be zero to slightly negative over the next two quarters.

Supporting passage from the call, verbatim
“Between the significant emerging opportunities and the pressure on parts of the sustainability franchise, we expect recurring net new sales to be roughly zero to slightly negative for the combined sustainability and climate reporting segment across the next two quarters.”

The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
