Plain-Language 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 $336.75 from 15 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $242.06 per share.
Warnings
Wall Street's average price target is $336.75 (from 15 analysts). Our estimate is 37% below 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
