INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY

Trading above historical range
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 13.3x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: DEO is currently trading at $94.72, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $84.85 to $92.83. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 15.3) compared to its historical average (13.3). At these levels, the market is pricing in 4.6% annual earnings growth. This is a high bar to clear, indicating the stock may be priced for perfection.
Technical Outlook: Technically, DEO is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $96.99. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: DEO scores 5/100 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 $106.29 (+10.7%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
