Valuation

Valuation signal

Possible value trap
Price
$35.31
Fair value
$71.05
Gap to fair value
−50%

In our model the price counts as cheap below $47.37 and expensive above $142.11 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).

Calculated with a cost of equity of 9.2%. At 10.2% the fair value would be $60.01, at 8.2% it would be $87.17.

Possible value trap: looks cheap, but high risk.

Company outlook lowered

Share price after the results: −22.6%

Demand came in below plan and the quarter missed; without the weakness the year would be at the high end of the prior guidance, and the new midpoint implies EBITDA growth of 12%.

Supporting passage from the call, verbatim
“And like Scott said, if you take a big step back and look at the midpoint of our guidance, that does look at us doubling -- almost doubling EBITDA in the last 3 years and growing 12% this year.”

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