Warnings

Dividend-based valuation: $42.13 (below our primary estimate by 54%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $298.33 (from 45 analysts). Our estimate is 69% 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
