Warnings
The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 122%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
The company pays out 98% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
Dividend-based valuation: $57.53 (below our primary estimate by 48%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.
Wall Street's average price target is $200.40 (from 33 analysts). Our estimate is 45% 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
