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 $110.33 from 42 analysts, using a 30% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $80.66 per share.
Warnings
Dividend-based valuation: $37.27 (below our primary estimate by 45%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $110.33 (from 42 analysts). Our estimate is 38% 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
