Valuation
Valuation signal
Significantly undervaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $497.82 and expensive above $1,493.45 (uncertainty very high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $992.12 (cash-flow model) and $501.33 (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 11%. At 12% the fair value would be $675.75, at 10% it would be $841.58.
Valuation metrics
Half from the cash-flow model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (19.4).
