INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$22.00
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 21.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: LTC is currently trading at $38.91, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $38.77 to $41.68. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 23.6) is in line with its historical norms (21.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 2.7% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, LTC is in a uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $38.89. 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 3.3% recently.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (40/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
