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 5.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: ZH is currently trading at $3.77, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $3.38 to $3.84. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 5.8) is in line with its historical norms (5.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.5% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, ZH is in a strong downtrend. Immediate support is located at $3.53, while resistance sits at $3.94.
Market Sentiment: ZH has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders.
