Warnings

⚠ The company's reported profits differ from official accounting profits by 215%. Check what costs are being left out of the adjusted number.

⚠ The company pays out 165% of its profits as dividends. That leaves little cushion — the dividend could be cut if business slows down.

ℹ Dividend-based valuation: $60.03 (below our primary estimate by 30%). Large gaps may signal the dividend doesn't reflect full earning power.

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
