| Model | Value per share | In the combined value? |
|---|---|---|
| Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. | ~$9.8 ~$7.6–$13 | Left out: out of range vs price (5.15x) |
| Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. | ~$9.6 ~$8.6–$11 | Left out: out of range vs price (5.06x) |
| Price-to-book vs peers Book value per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) price-to-book. | ~$4.1 ~$4.2–$6.9 | Included |
| Dividend discount (growing dividend) Today's dividend growing 2.5% a year, discounted at the cost of equity. | ~$20 ~$18–$24 | Left out: out of range vs price (10.74x) |
