What is WAB's fair price?

Two classic value formulas, with today's numbers. The current price is US$288.82.

Graham's fair price
US$105.94
63.32% below the price

√(22.50 × US$7.51 × US$66.39)

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
US$11.87
95.89% below the price

US$0.71 (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.
