INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$72.76
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 21.4x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: IR is currently trading at $79.06, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $73.58 to $78.64. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 20.1) is in line with its historical norms (21.4). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 2.0% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 6.5% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, IR is in a downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $80.78. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: IR scores 39/100 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 $94.10 (+19.7%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
