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 18.1x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: IT is currently trading at $209.61, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $226.84 to $250.83. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 15.6) compared to its historical average (18.1). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 4.9% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, IT is in a strong downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $207.01. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: IT has a weak technical setup (25/100), with bearish trendlines and momentum suggesting caution for short-term entries. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $284.18 (+35.6%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
