Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $180.42 and expensive above $541.26 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $241.02 (cash-flow model) and $300.24 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly above both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 10.1%. At 11.1% the fair value would be $253.13, at 9.1% it would be $294.88.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (26).
