Valuation

Valuation signal

Overvalued
Price
$24.39
Fair value
not meaningful
Gap to fair value
no data

A fair value is not meaningful here, so the signal follows the valuation grade.

Valuation metrics

no data
21.9
Fair value (model)
no data

The model puts the fair value at less than a quarter of the share price. That says more about the assumptions than about the company, so a fair value is not meaningful here and the valuation relies on the P/E and the other metrics.
