What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (27/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case ($106.56). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • A fairly wide model range ($106.56 to $202.94) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $6.83 – $89.81 · fair‑value band $106.56 – $202.94 · the $74.18 price screens below the $154.75 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 5 fiscal years are left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.
