Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $514.18 and expensive above $954.91 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $694.79 (cash-flow model) and $642.09 (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 7.1%. At 8.1% the fair value would be $608.32, at 6.1% it would be $758.80.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (24.1).
