What matters now
The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (43/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
The price is below even our cautious bear case ($18.35). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.

Scenario range: $18.35 (bear) to $25.29 (bull), the price of $7.00 sits below it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target.

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
