Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $41.99 and expensive above $62.99 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $54.56 (cash-flow model) and $46.22 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly above both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 7.4%. At 8.4% the fair value would be $44.42, at 6.4% it would be $61.01.
Valuation metrics
