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 $203.40 (from 33 analysts). Our estimate is 46% 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
