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 13.3x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: ZIP is currently trading at $2.41, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $2.56 to $3.67. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 8.9) compared to its historical average (13.3). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 12.6% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, ZIP is in a strong downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $2.35. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: ZIP 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 $5.00 (+107.5%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
