IRDM is Overpriced: at $48.96 it trades 50% above its fair value of $32.56. Its buy price (Payback Price) is $13.03, 73% below today's price. Business quality is limited: only 1 of 5 key numbers clears the 10% bar.
How we valued it
Free Cash Flow. Sales grew 7% 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.
