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 8.7x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: CIVB is currently trading at $24.13, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $22.16 to $23.46. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 8.5) is in line with its historical norms (8.7). 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, CIVB is in a strong uptrend. Immediate support is located at $22.06, while resistance sits at $24.94.

Market Sentiment: CIVB has a strong technical setup (60/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. In the options market, Implied Volatility is low (0th percentile), suggesting options premiums are relatively cheap. This makes it an attractive time for long options strategies if you have a directional bias. Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
