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 $79.89 from 35 analysts, using a 30% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $90.64 per share.

Warnings

The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 55%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
The company pays out 82% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
Dividend-based valuation: $61.69 (below our primary estimate by 35%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.

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
