INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY

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 12.1x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: AGO is currently trading at $84.85, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $84.41 to $90.24. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 11.8) is in line with its historical norms (12.1). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 1.0% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, AGO is in a uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $82.80. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: AGO has a weak technical setup (25/100), with bearish trendlines and momentum suggesting caution for short-term entries. In the options market, Implied Volatility is low (6th percentile), suggesting options premiums are relatively cheap. This makes it an attractive time for long options strategies if you have a directional bias. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $107.00 (+25.6%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
