Divergence from AlphaVal
47%
Warnings
The company pays out 103% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
Dividend-based valuation: $38.55 (above our primary estimate by 37%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $52.80 (from 28 analysts). Our estimate is 47% 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
