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 153% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $115.50 (from 59 analysts). Our estimate is 33% 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
