Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses a valuation based on adjusted earnings per share and a normalized price-to-earnings multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $108.88 from 59 analysts, using a 35% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $88.05 per share.

Warnings

The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 103%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.
The company pays out 152% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
Wall Street's average price target is $108.88 (from 59 analysts). Our estimate is 29% 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
