Price vs fair value The stock trades at a discount to both our fair-value estimate and analyst target: - Discount of 9.80% versus our fair-value estimate of 1309.91 - Discount of 14.17% versus the 12-month target of 1362.00 - Sidera overall score 50.5 flags average quality and fair value - Forward P/E 13.66 vs trailing 18.25 suggests valuation support - Income pillar 82.1 highlights a 4% dividend yield
Looking forward Forward PEG 0.41 implies undemanding growth valuation, but weak momentum (–6.8% 3m) and high leverage (net debt/EBITDA 6.4x) temper enthusiasm. Analysts (n=15) still see 14% potential upside to 1362.
