Plain-Language Summary

Using 7-year normalized EPS of $0.42 at a 18x cycle multiple, the base-case value is $7.56 per share. P/TBV cross-check: 4.4x.

Warnings

⚠ Price-to-book value of 4.4x is above the normal range for this type of business (0.7x-2.0x). The stock may already price in a strong cycle.

ℹ This company has heavy ongoing investment costs. Valuation shortcuts that ignore those costs can make the stock look cheaper than it really is.

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
