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 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: HP is currently trading at $37.13, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $36.49 to $40.42. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 24.4) compared to its historical average (30.8). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 7.5% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, HP is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $34.41, while resistance sits at $43.07.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 52/100 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 $45.44 (+22.4%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
