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 $40.00 from 18 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $99.49 per share.

Warnings

The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 50%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
Wall Street's average price target is $40.00 (from 18 analysts). Our estimate is 198% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
