What is DRI's fair price?

Two classic value formulas, with today's numbers. The current price is $199.72.

Graham's fair price: $65.56; 67.17% below the price

√(22.50 × $10.45 × $18.28)

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: $81.10; 59.39% below the price

$4.87 (5-year average) ÷ 6%

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

Graham ignores growth and debt; Bazin assumes past distributions repeat. They are references to compare, not a buy recommendation.
