INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$11.94
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 11.2x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: WNC is currently trading at $14.04, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $11.98 to $13.51. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 11.5) is in line with its historical norms (11.2). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.6% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, WNC is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $14.15. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation. The stock is showing strong short-term momentum, up 12.7% recently.
Market Sentiment: WNC scores 18/100 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 $22.50 (+60.3%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
