Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $88.16 and expensive above $264.47 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $128.61 (cash-flow model) and $135.86 (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 9.9%. At 10.9% the fair value would be $122.27, at 8.9% it would be $146.23.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (26).
