Warnings

⚠ The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 60%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
⚠ The company pays out 81% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
ℹ Dividend-based valuation: $113.61 (above our primary estimate by 142%). 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
