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.
⚠ Recent profits ($5.02/share) are 102% above the mid-cycle average ($2.49). Buying based on peak profits is the most common mistake with boom-and-bust businesses.
⚠ Price-to-book value of 6.2x is above the normal range for this type of business (0.7x-2.0x). The stock may already price in a strong cycle.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $123.60 (from 25 analysts). Our estimate is 64% below 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
