Warnings

⚠ This company has a built-in lending arm whose debt is mixed in with the main business. We capped the debt adjustment to avoid overstating what the core business owes.

⚠ Recent profits ($4.21/share) are 93% above the mid-cycle average ($2.18). Buying based on peak profits is the most common mistake with boom-and-bust businesses.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $83.56 (from 25 analysts). Our estimate is 53% 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
