If you believe DTE can sustain its 18.6% revenue growth and convert that into materially higher returns on capital, then holding may be reasonable, but the current price looks hard to justify versus CHTR because DTE screens expensive on P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue while CHTR-implied value is far below spot.
DTE’s current price of $139.66 sits far above CHTR-implied value range of $29.73-$45.91, implying a -78.7% downside versus the P/E-based estimate of $29.74. The stock also trades below the midpoint of its historical band but well under the DCF range, creating a clear disconnect between market price and model-based valuation.
