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 23.4x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: MSI is currently trading at $402.54, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $375.91 to $394.21. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 24.7) is in line with its historical norms (23.4). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.7% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, MSI is in a strong downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $390.65. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: MSI has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $487.90 (+21.2%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
