INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$69.19
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 21.6x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: CL is currently trading at $91.43, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $87.54 to $91.07. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 21.9) is in line with its historical norms (21.6). At these levels, the market is pricing in 0.6% annual earnings growth.
