Valuation & Ratios

DCF vs price: DCF estimate is $263.25; current price is $161.94. That’s a +62.6% gap. When the gap is large (e.g. >20%), that’s divergence; when they’re close, that’s convergence. Differences can reflect growth expectations, sector premiums, or conservative vs. optimistic assumptions. Use DCF as one input alongside technicals and sentiment.
