Warnings

Wall Street's average price target is $129.83 (from 13 analysts). Our estimate is 221% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
This stock is 84% below its 52-week high, with weak or declining earnings. That combination often signals real trouble, even though the valuation below is based on other fundamentals.

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
