Warnings

⚠ Recent profits ($3.88/share) are 280% above the mid-cycle average ($1.02). Buying based on peak profits is the most common mistake with boom-and-bust businesses.

⚠ Price-to-book value of 9.8x is above the normal range for this type of business (0.7x-2.0x). The stock may already price in a strong cycle.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $89.00 (from 12 analysts). Our estimate is 89% 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
