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 19.5x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CPRT is currently trading at $29.09, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $26.68 to $29.42. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 16.6) compared to its historical average (19.5). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 5.2% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CPRT is in a downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $29.27. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation. The stock is showing strong short-term momentum, up 5.5% recently.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 58/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $39.00 (+34.1%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
