Warnings

ℹ Dividend-based valuation: $72.86 (below our primary estimate by 30%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $187.33 (from 24 analysts). Our estimate is 44% 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
