Valuation

Valuation signal

Modestly undervalued
Price
$69.88
Fair value
$91.97
Gap to fair value
−24%

In our model the price counts as cheap below $65.69 and expensive above $153.29 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).

The two parts of the fair value come to $105.72 (cash-flow model) and $78.22 (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 $83.05, at 7.8% it would be $105.36.
