INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY

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 17.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: KWR is currently trading at $153.74, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $142.80 to $156.72. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 18.4) is in line with its historical norms (17.0). At these levels, the market is pricing in 2.7% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, KWR is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $149.00, while resistance sits at $161.95.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (55/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals.
