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 14.8x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: RUSHA is currently trading at $64.19, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $55.77 to $62.90. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 17.0) compared to its historical average (14.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 4.9% annual earnings growth.

Technical Outlook: Technically, RUSHA is in a uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $66.11. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.

Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (55/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
