INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$25.45
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 11.6x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze

The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 12.2) is in line with its historical norms (11.6). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.6% annual earnings growth.
