Valuation
Valuation signal
UndervaluedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
A fair value is not meaningful here, so the signal follows the valuation grade.
Valuation metrics
The model puts the fair value at more than four times the share price. That says more about the assumptions than about the company, so a fair value is not meaningful here and the valuation relies on the P/E and the other metrics.
