INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$23.91
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 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: WERN is currently trading at $34.25, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $30.98 to $33.88. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 43.8) compared to its historical average (36.9). At these levels, the market is pricing in 5.9% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, WERN is in a strong uptrend. Immediate support is located at $31.98, while resistance sits at $35.88.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (55/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. However, the stock is trading significantly above the average Wall Street target of $31.13. Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
