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 21.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: WERN is currently trading at $27.84, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $27.81 to $32.30. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 15.0) compared to its historical average (21.8). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 11.7% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, WERN is in a strong downtrend. Immediate support is located at $26.90, while resistance sits at $29.68.
Market Sentiment: WERN scores 96/100 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 $36.67 (+31.7%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
