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 6.4x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: VRTS is currently trading at $163.25, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $164.42 to $170.92. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 6.5) is in line with its historical norms (6.4). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.4% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, VRTS is in a strong downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $160.29. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $181.25 (+11.0%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
