INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$13.91
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 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: DEA is currently trading at $23.39, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $21.48 to $23.17. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 50.3) is in line with its historical norms (47.9). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.6% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, DEA is showing sideways momentum. The price is approaching resistance at $23.73. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (55/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Implied Volatility is high (100th percentile), indicating expensive options premiums. This environment often favors selling options or covered calls to generate income. Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
