What is CSED3's fair price?

Two classic value formulas, with today's numbers. The current price is R$5.23.

Graham's fair price
R$9.38
79.30% above the price

√(22.50 × R$0.85 × R$4.60)

Benjamin Graham paid no more than a P/E of 15 and a P/B of 1.5. Their product, 22.5, times earnings (EPS) and book value per share gives the fair price.

Bazin's ceiling price
R$4.01
23.35% below the price

R$0.24 (5-year average) ÷ 6%

Décio Bazin only bought shares yielding at least 6% a year in distributions. The ceiling price is the average dividend per share of recent years divided by 6%.

Graham ignores growth and debt; Bazin assumes past distributions will repeat. They are reference points for comparison, not a buy recommendation.
