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

The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 29.1x, above its 5-year median of 29.1x. The PEG ratio of 2.25 indicates the price has run ahead of the underlying growth rate.

Looking at its own history, CWCO is currently trading more expensive than 55% of the last 5Y on P/E. This places it in the 55th percentile of its historical range, a reasonable but unremarkable position.

Our discounted cash flow model estimates CWCO's intrinsic value at $37.00 per share, against the current market price of $32.05. This implies a premium to fair value of -0.57%. The stock is priced close to its estimated fair value, offering limited upside without further operational improvement.

Financial quality is a concern. The Piotroski F-Score of 0/9 flags weakening fundamentals that deserve closer scrutiny before the valuation case can be fully trusted.
