Valuation
Valuation signal
Possible value trapClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $10.04 and expensive above $23.42 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $17.15 (cash-flow model) and $10.95 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is below both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 10.5%. At 11.5% the fair value would be $13.01, at 9.5% it would be $15.45.
Possible value trap: looks cheap, but high risk, weak growth.
