Warnings

⚠ The company pays out 94% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $71.58 (from 44 analysts). Our estimate is 50% 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
