Valuation signal
Significantly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $1.57 and expensive above $2.35 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $2.00 (cash-flow model) and $1.76 (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 8.9%. At 9.9% the fair value would be $1.73, at 7.9% it would be $2.10.
Where the number comes from
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (15.4).
Ten-year cash-flow model from smoothed free cash flow and its past growth until it reaches 3.5%. Discounted at 8.9% (government bond yield 3.5% plus beta 0.8 times a risk premium of 6.7%); no analyst estimates were available.
Calculate with your own assumptionsThe calculation step by step
With these figures the cash flow model arrives at $2.00 per share: free cash flow for the next ten years, each year discounted to today at 8.9%, plus the terminal value for the years after. The table explains the calculation; it is not a recommendation.

| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Sum of present values (ten years) | $431.85M |
| Terminal value: cash flow 2035 × (1 + 3.5%) / (8.9% − 3.5%) | $1.43B |
| Present value of terminal value (× 0.4278) | $610.18M |
| Equity value (sum plus present value of terminal value) | $1.04B |
| Shares (diluted) | 522.21M |
| Value per share (equity value divided by shares) | $2.00 |
| Earnings per share, last twelve months | $0.11 |
| × 15.4 (industry P/E) | $1.76 |
| Fair value (average of both parts) | $1.88 |
The model uses free cash flow after interest, which belongs to shareholders, discounted at the cost of equity. Net debt is therefore not deducted again.
