Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses Normalized Earnings × Cycle Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $144.00 from 44 analysts, using a 30% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $181.88 per share.

Warnings

Wall Street's average price target is $144.00 (from 44 analysts). Our estimate is 38% 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
