Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $83.30 and expensive above $194.37 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $152.17 (cash-flow model) and $81.08 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is above both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $103.87, at 7.8% it would be $135.76.
