INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$323.26
Trading above fair value
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 18.9x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: COR is currently trading at $359.22, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $339.02 to $352.45. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 18.1) is in line with its historical norms (18.9). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 1.5% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 45.5% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, COR is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $362.43. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: COR has a strong technical setup (60/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $396.47 (+12.6%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
