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 8.6x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 15.5% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
