- P/E multiplesFairthinks it's fairly priced — estimates $244.88, about 4% above today
- EV/EBITDAFairthinks it's fairly priced — estimates $244.15, about 4% above today
- DCF (2-stage)Overvaluedthinks it's expensive — estimates $87.63, about 63% below today

Composite is the 8-pillar weighted score over quality, value, growth, momentum, health, profitability, technical, and risk. Sentiment + ML pillars are reserved for a later phase; until then their weight redistributes pro-rata. Fair price is the median of 6 valuation methods (Graham, P/E / P/B / EV-EBITDA multiples, RIM, DCF) with outliers above 5× current price excluded from the max. Risk-overlay flags annotate only — they suppress the entered-top-5 badge but do not modify the composite.
