INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$32.01
Trading above historical range
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 18.7x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: KN is currently trading at $35.92, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $28.18 to $33.34. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 23.1) compared to its historical average (18.7). At these levels, the market is pricing in 7.2% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
