Warnings

Recent profits ($7.84/share) are 42% above the mid-cycle average ($5.52). Buying based on peak profits is the most common mistake with boom-and-bust businesses.
Price-to-book value of 3.3x 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 $160.00 (from 22 analysts). Our estimate is 45% 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
