fair value
Slightly overvalued price $22.42the price is 1.2 times the estimate from 5 models
What GME shares should cost, according to the valuation models of the best-known investors in history.
These are estimates, not price targets: every model starts from assumptions about the future, and if the assumptions change, so does the number.
- Median of 5 modelsNot the average, but the middle value. A model that falls far out of line does not drag the result with it.
- Confidence in the estimateHow close the models are to one another.
- Spread across modelsHow far they deviate from the median on average. Below 50% means they are reasonably close.
- Growth the price demandsHow fast profit would have to grow, year after year, for today’s price to make sense.
- Growth actually deliveredThe average growth of past years. Compare it with the line above.
5 different methods, the same company figures. Each assumes something different about the future, and that is where the differences come from.
For today’s price to be justified, earnings would have to grow -8.6% a year. Over the past five years they grew 6.7%.
- Growth the price requiresThe annual pace earnings would have to reach for today’s price to be justified.
- Growth actually deliveredHow much earnings per share actually grew over the past five years.
- The gapHow far above past performance the expectation in the price sits.
- Value with no growthWhat the company would be worth if it stayed exactly as it is today.
Starting from a base value of $44.18, how much the result changes if you alter each assumption in turn.
The cost of capital moves the estimate almost three times as much as earnings growth.

and a stretched price.
The business has weaknesses and the price offers no margin to cover them.
For this to work out, the growth rate would have to resume, not merely stabilise.
