Valuation

Valuation signal

Price
$119.44
Fair value
$120.76
Gap to fair value
−1%

In our model the price counts as cheap below $80.51 and expensive above $241.52 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).

The two parts of the fair value come to $180.18 (cash-flow model) and $61.35 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.

Calculated with a cost of equity of 12%. At 13% the fair value would be $108.87, at 11% it would be $136.12.

Company outlook confirmed

Share price after the results: +16.5%

Second quarter sales above the outlook; further growth is expected across end markets (data center up 45% sequentially), with no comparison to earlier guidance.

Supporting passage from the call, verbatim
“We expect net sales from our infrastructure end market to increase sequentially with projected sequential data center growth of 45% or 160% year-over-year with continued strong contribution from our 800-gig portfolio and a meaningful ramp in 1.6T CopperEdge and FiberEdge.”

The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
