Overpriced

BTU is Overpriced: at $24.81 it trades 15% above its fair value of $21.62. Its buy price (Payback Price) is $8.65, 65% below today's price. Business quality is limited: none of the 5 key numbers clears the 10% bar.

How we valued it

Free Cash Flow. Sales grew -8% a year over the last 3 years, below the 15% we look for in a fast grower, so we value it on its free cash flow instead of an earnings forecast.
