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 15.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: FSTR is currently trading at $30.05, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $27.70 to $29.43. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 16.9) is in line with its historical norms (15.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 2.4% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, FSTR is in a uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $30.32. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
