The 12-month analyst consensus target is $183.92, about 45.9% above the current $126.05. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the intrinsic value of Advanced Drainage Systems Inc (WMS)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $102.98, a -68.2% margin of safety versus today's $126.05. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
