Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses Normalized Earnings × Cycle Multiple. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $117.50 from 7 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $39.74 per share.

Warnings

Recent profits ($3.49/share) are 206% above the mid-cycle average ($1.14). Buying based on peak profits is the most common mistake with boom-and-bust businesses.
Price-to-book value of 15.7x is above the normal range for this type of business (0.7x-2.0x). The stock may already price in a strong cycle.
Wall Street's average price target is $117.50 (from 7 analysts). Our estimate is 83% 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
