Divergence from AlphaVal
13%
Warnings
The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 164%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
The company pays out 102% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
Dividend-based valuation: $8.50 (below our primary estimate by 54%). 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
