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 $16.50 from 15 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $22.61 per share.

Warnings

The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 147%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
Wall Street's average price target is $16.50 (from 15 analysts). Our estimate is 49% 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
