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 16.1x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: WCC is currently trading at $289.43, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $256.40 to $286.53. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 17.8) compared to its historical average (16.1). At these levels, the market is pricing in 3.5% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, WCC is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $294.69. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: WCC has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. In the options market, Implied Volatility is low (12th percentile), suggesting options premiums are relatively cheap.
