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 0.6x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: VIST is currently trading at $60.49, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $45.63 to $54.74. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 0.7) compared to its historical average (0.6). At these levels, the market is pricing in 6.4% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.

Technical Outlook: Technically, VIST is in a strong downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $61.22. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.

Market Sentiment: VIST has a strong technical setup (60/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $81.02 (+33.9%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
