Summary
Our base-case estimate uses Normalized Earnings × Cycle Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $408.75 from 26 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $300.51 per share.
Warnings
Wall Street's average price target is $408.75 (from 26 analysts). Our estimate is 35% below 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
