How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 20.1x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: CPRT is currently trading at $33.92, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $27.52 to $31.55. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 20.4) is in line with its historical norms (20.1). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.5% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.

Technical Outlook: Technically, CPRT is in a strong downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $34.62. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.

Market Sentiment: CPRT scores 15/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $40.30 (+17.4%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
