Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $8.79 and expensive above $26.37 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $15.02 (cash-flow model) and $11.35 (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 9.7%. At 10.7% the fair value would be $12.02, at 8.7% it would be $14.82.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (30.8).
