Summary
Our base-case estimate uses a two-stage discounted cash flow model based on free cash flow. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $94.20 from 24 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $116.33 per share.
Warnings
Wall Street's average price target is $94.20 (from 24 analysts). Our estimate is 31% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
Key Risks
- P/E alone misleads — earnings depressed by growth investment
- Cyclical or commodity businesses may be misclassified as platforms
- Terminal value dominance suggests sensitivity to long-run assumptions
