How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 10.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: C is currently trading at $113.41, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $107.23 to $113.15.

This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
