Summary
Our base-case estimate uses a valuation based on adjusted earnings per share and a normalized price-to-earnings multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $19.00 from 17 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $35.24 per share.
Warnings
The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 208%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
Wall Street's average price target is $19.00 (from 17 analysts). Our estimate is 114% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
Key Risks
- Growth DCF inappropriate — terminal value assumptions dominate
- EV/EBITDA misleading for regulated businesses where capex is mandated
- Regulatory risk is a fat tail not visible in normal multiples
