If you believe HEES can sustain its stronger ROIC and leverage advantage while closing the gap between MKSI-implied valuation and the DCF range, then a relative-value bullish stance is justified; otherwise, the DCF range argues for caution because the implied price is far above intrinsic value.
MKSI-implied price for HEES is $281.91, which sits within the provided MKSI-implied range of $212.58 to $280.57 but above the top of that range, while the DCF range is far lower at $52.62 to $71.20. That spread suggests the relative multiple-based view is extremely optimistic versus intrinsic value, creating a major inconsistency in the valuation inputs.
