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 $157.63 from 46 analysts, using a 30% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $127.31 per share.

Warnings

Dividend-based valuation: $207.95 (above our primary estimate by 82%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $157.63 (from 46 analysts). Our estimate is 27% below 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
