INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$95.11
Trading above fair value
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 19.2x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: WEC is currently trading at $116.17, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $113.81 to $116.91.
