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 13.2x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: NTAP is currently trading at $96.35, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $99.31 to $109.18. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 11.5) compared to its historical average (13.2). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 4.5% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 6.3% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, NTAP is in a strong downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $93.69. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: NTAP has a weak technical setup (25/100), with bearish trendlines and momentum suggesting caution for short-term entries. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $122.81 (+24.9%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
