Plain-Language 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 $25.59 from 25 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $34.41 per share.

Warnings

Wall Street's average price target is $25.59 (from 25 analysts). Our estimate is 46% 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
