Warnings
Dividend-based valuation: $105.93 (below our primary estimate by 44%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $116.00 (from 21 analysts). Our estimate is 64% 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
