Fair value
$46.77
Gap to fair value
+151%

In our model the price counts as cheap below $33.41 and expensive above $77.95 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).

The two parts of the fair value come to $58.07 (cash-flow model) and $35.47 (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 10.2%. At 11.2% the fair value would be $42.67, at 9.2% it would be $52.40.
