What the Numbers Say It Is WorthThe Fair Value Range
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2025-12-31 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. The price runs 23.0% above the base estimate.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.
