The 12-month analyst consensus target is $30.00, about 4.9% below the current $31.55. 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.

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $32.13, a -0.3% margin of safety versus today's $31.55. 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.
