This explanation uses an earlier data snapshot or evidence version. Review its generation date and the current figures, or refresh after signing in.
If you believe NOW can sustain 20.9% revenue growth and preserve its 13.7% operating margin, then hold or accumulate only on pullbacks because the business quality is clearly superior, but the current price already embeds a large premium versus HPE-implied and DCF values.
NOW trades far above HPE-implied valuation and also above the DCF range, indicating the market is paying a sizable premium for its higher growth and better margins versus HPE. The current price of $106.32 compares with an implied price of $20.21, implying -81.0% downside on the P/S framework.
