Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $103.31 and expensive above $191.86 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $156.99 (excess return model) and $111.61 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is below both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $121.22, at 7.8% it would be $153.92.
Valuation metrics
