INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$86.56
Trading above historical range
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 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CCI is currently trading at $86.66, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $85.51 to $89.63. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 29.3) is in line with its historical norms (28.2). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.2% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CCI is in a uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $85.47. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $98.82 (+14.0%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
