This score blends growth quality, financial health, and price attractiveness into a single institutional-grade read.

Our discounted cash flow model estimates CNXN's intrinsic value at $102.56 per share, against the current market price of $63.38. This implies a margin of safety of +36.48%. A meaningful cushion exists against model error, making this a reasonable risk-adjusted entry.
Financial quality is a concern. The Piotroski F-Score of 3/9 flags weakening fundamentals that deserve closer scrutiny before the valuation case can be fully trusted.
