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 6.9x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: DIN is currently trading at $34.39, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $33.16 to $37.14. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 7.1) is in line with its historical norms (6.9). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.9% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, DIN is in a strong uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $33.47. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
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 (14th 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.
