Plain-Language Summary
Our base-case estimate uses Normalized Earnings × Cycle Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $277.67 from 28 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $97.44 per share.
Warnings
Price-to-book value of 12.5x is above the normal range for this type of business (0.7x-2.0x). The stock may already price in a strong cycle.
Wall Street's average price target is $277.67 (from 28 analysts). Our estimate is 87% 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
