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 19.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CPRT is currently trading at $27.32, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $28.28 to $32.84. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 15.6) compared to its historical average (19.8). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 7.6% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CPRT is in a downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $26.74. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: CPRT scores 68/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge — the chart has corrected and is stabilizing (RSI reset, momentum turning up), historically a favorable entry zone. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $39.00 (+42.9%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
