INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$26.24
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 9.2x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: ASB is currently trading at $27.26, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $26.08 to $27.01. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 8.6) is in line with its historical norms (9.2). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 2.3% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 30.4% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, ASB is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $28.02. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: ASB has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $30.20 (+10.4%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
