Trading above historical range
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 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: DEA is currently trading at $23.67, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $23.00 to $23.47.

Technical Outlook: Technically, DEA is in a uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $23.80. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
