Warnings

⚠ The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 4358%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $36.36 (from 27 analysts). Our estimate is 57% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
⚠ This stock is 63% 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
