Warnings

⚠ This company has a built-in lending arm whose debt is mixed in with the main business. We capped the debt adjustment to avoid overstating what the core business owes.
ℹ Price-to-book value of 0.5x is below the typical low point. This could be a bargain, but check whether asset write-downs are coming.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $26.00 (from 49 analysts). Our estimate is 28% above the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

Key Risks

  • Standard 10-year DCF produces unreliable terminal values for cyclicals
  • 'Cheap' P/E at cycle peak is the most common value trap — normalize first
  • Captive finance subsidiaries have different risk profiles from manufacturing
