Seven formulas applied to the reported numbers, each with its assumption next to the result. None of them predicts a price.
Square root of 22.5 × earnings × book value. Blind to intangibles, so it undervalues software and brands.
Earnings growing 25.0% a year plus a 0.0% dividend yield. Growth capped at 25%.
Median P/E of 18.2 among peers in the sector.
Median P/E of 21.6 across this company’s own years on record.
Cash flow growing 15.0% a year for 10 years, discounted at 10%, then 2.5% forever.
Sector median of 11.4x operating profit, less net debt. Banks have no EBITDA.
