INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$71.34
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 10.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: EMN is currently trading at $72.64, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $68.70 to $75.51. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 10.5) is in line with its historical norms (10.8). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 0.8% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, EMN is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $73.30. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: EMN has a strong technical setup (60/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
