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 16.3x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CRMT is currently trading at $25.72, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $25.53 to $27.72. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 29.0) compared to its historical average (16.3). At these levels, the market is pricing in 21.2% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CRMT is in a downtrend. Immediate support is located at $24.30, while resistance sits at $28.64.
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 $37.00 (+47.4%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
