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 $311.33 from 35 analysts, using a 30% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $239.72 per share.

Warnings

The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 33%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
Wall Street's average price target is $311.33 (from 35 analysts). Our estimate is 33% 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
