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: NYT is currently trading at $73.31, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $69.99 to $72.28. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 27.9) is in line with its historical norms (26.3). At these levels, the market is pricing in 2.0% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.

Technical Outlook: Technically, NYT is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $73.77. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.

Market Sentiment: NYT has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
