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 23.4x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: WERN is currently trading at $37.28, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $37.39 to $39.07. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 16.9) compared to its historical average (23.4). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 10.2% over the next few years. This aligns with recent fundamental challenges.
Technical Outlook: Technically, WERN is showing sideways momentum. The price is currently testing key support at $36.56. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside. Short-term momentum is weak, with the stock down 3.4% recently.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 48/100 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 $43.20 (+15.9%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
