Summary
Using 7-year normalized EPS of $3.63 at a 16x cycle multiple, the base-case value is $58.08 per share. P/TBV cross-check: 5.1x.
Warnings
Price-to-book value of 5.1x is above the normal range for this type of business (0.7x-2.0x). The stock may already price in a strong cycle.
Wall Street's average price target is $104.67 (from 47 analysts). Our estimate is 45% 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
