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 $69.00 from 18 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $99.75 per share.

Warnings

Dividend-based valuation: $47.96 (below our primary estimate by 56%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $69.00 (from 18 analysts). Our estimate is 59% 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
