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 8.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: PDS is currently trading at $79.74, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $70.81 to $77.41.

Technical Outlook: Technically, PDS is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $81.73. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: PDS has a strong technical setup (60/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders.
