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 11.7x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: MLAB is currently trading at $78.76, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $79.60 to $86.38. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 13.0) compared to its historical average (11.7). At these levels, the market is pricing in 3.6% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, MLAB is in a strong uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $77.48. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
