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: BOW is currently trading at $25.10, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $24.28 to $27.26. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 12.8) is in line with its historical norms (13.3). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 1.3% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 25.0% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.

Technical Outlook: Technically, BOW is in a downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $25.80. 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 (45/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $34.29 (+36.6%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
