AlphaMadera's AlphaVal page computes California Water Service Group's fair value using a multi-method blend (DCF, comparable-multiples, and Graham-style intrinsic value), then compares it to the current market price to flag CWT as undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued.

What is California Water Service Group's fair value?

Fair value for CWT is a model output combining discounted cash flow projections, peer-group multiples, and a Graham number floor. The live AlphaVal page shows the blended fair value alongside each method's individual estimate.

How does AlphaMadera value CWT?

AlphaVal uses three primary techniques: a five-year discounted-cash-flow projection with terminal multiple, peer-group multiple analysis (P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/S), and Graham's defensive-investor intrinsic-value formula. Inputs come from CWT's most recent reported fundamentals.

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 $54.00 from 10 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $38.78 per share.

Warnings

ℹ Dividend-based valuation: $59.86 (above our primary estimate by 71%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $54.00 (from 10 analysts). Our estimate is 35% below 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
