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 3.3x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: KEP is currently trading at $20.21, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $16.55 to $20.81. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 3.6) is in line with its historical norms (3.3). At these levels, the market is pricing in 2.6% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
