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 6.2x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CIM is currently trading at $12.35, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $12.63 to $13.09. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 6.0) is in line with its historical norms (6.2). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 1.1% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CIM is in a downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $12.24. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside. Short-term momentum is weak, with the stock down 4.7% recently.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $14.50 (+17.4%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
