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 20.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CPRT is currently trading at $29.95, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $29.80 to $33.36. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 17.8) compared to its historical average (20.0). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 3.8% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 2.3% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, CPRT is in a downtrend. The price is currently testing key support at $29.57. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: CPRT scores 20/100 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 $41.00 (+36.9%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
