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 25.0x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: MEC is currently trading at $19.60, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $18.15 to $19.33.

Technical Outlook: Technically, MEC is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $19.79. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.

Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $24.60 (+25.2%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
