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 $380.27 from 62 analysts, using a 35% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $289.30 per share.

Warnings

Dividend-based valuation: $383.82 (above our primary estimate by 60%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $380.27 (from 62 analysts). Our estimate is 37% 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
