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 ($2.95/share) are 123% above the mid-cycle average ($1.32). Buying based on peak profits is the most common mistake with boom-and-bust businesses.

⚠ 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 Wall Street's average price target is $38.00 (from 14 analysts). Our estimate is 67% 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
