Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $35.72 and expensive above $66.34 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $57.17 (cash-flow model) and $35.70 (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 $41.72, at 7.8% it would be $53.51.
