Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $21.82 and expensive above $50.90 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $26.73 (cash-flow model) and $34.35 (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 12.1%. At 13.1% the fair value would be $29.17, at 11.1% it would be $32.26.
