What matters now
The price is below even our cautious bear case (C$119.98). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
Solid quality (64/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
A fairly wide model range (C$119.98 to C$226.91) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
