Plain-Language Summary
Our base-case estimate uses a valuation based on adjusted earnings per share and a normalized price-to-earnings multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $8.00 from 13 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $21.72 per share.
Warnings
Wall Street's average price target is $8.00 (from 13 analysts). Our estimate is 214% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
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
