INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$120.00
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: XYL is currently trading at $137.87, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $137.43 to $142.30. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 24.8) is in line with its historical norms (25.1). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 0.3% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 4.5% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, XYL is in a downtrend. Immediate support is located at $132.36, while resistance sits at $146.55.
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 $167.18 (+21.2%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
