Summary

Our base-case estimate uses Normalized Earnings × Cycle Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $94.50 from 12 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $192.40 per share.

Warnings

Wall Street's average price target is $94.50 (from 12 analysts). Our estimate is 130% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

Key Risks

  • Standard 10-year DCF produces unreliable terminal values for cyclicals
  • 'Cheap' P/E at cycle peak is the most common value trap — normalize first
  • Captive finance subsidiaries have different risk profiles from manufacturing
