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 11.1x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CNR is currently trading at $95.38, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $90.14 to $98.25. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 12.2) compared to its historical average (11.1). At these levels, the market is pricing in 3.2% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CNR is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $91.20, while resistance sits at $103.50.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. In the options market, Implied Volatility is low (4th percentile), suggesting options premiums are relatively cheap. This makes it an attractive time for long options strategies if you have a directional bias. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $114.75 (+19.7%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
