Valuation50/ 100
Cash flow & growth66/ 100
Upside potential43/ 100
Risk potential24/ 100

BEN's valuation appears fair, fundamentals are below averages and forward estimates point to earnings growth and improving margins, though analyst coverage is limited.

Valuation

Valuation stays neutral because earnings are difficult to compare across periods. Business trends, outlook and financial risk still contribute to the overall score.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are strong. Over the past year: revenue +7.9%, operating margin +5.5 percentage points. The business score is 65.9/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

Business trends and outlook support upside. Price history provides the reference because earnings are difficult to compare.

The calculation starts with the stock’s typical weekly price movements, adjusted for business performance and outlook. Unusually large jumps have less influence. The result is 18% upside, or about $39.71.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Historical price swings are the main risk driver, even without a sharp profit decline.

The stock’s historical price swings drive this figure. Price history and operating stress provide the reference because comparable earnings do not support a future PE target. Operating stress reflects revenue, earnings, margins, outlook and relevant debt exposure. The larger stress gives 24.1% downside, or about $25.54, with a 15% minimum.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

MS

Valuation33/ 100
Cash flow & growth72/ 100
Upside potential46/ 100
Risk potential29/ 100

MS's valuation is somewhat elevated while fundamentals provide solid support and forward estimates point to earnings growth and improving margins, though analyst coverage is limited.

Score change since last week

The score fell 7 points, mainly due to valuation and price changes. Price rose 1.4%, from $214.77 to $217.72. Reported EPS was unchanged, so the higher price reduced valuation support.

Valuation and price changes subtracted 7.0 points. The comparison uses the same available inputs on both dates. Displayed changes are rounded to whole points.

Valuation

Historical cheapness: current PE is 17.5× versus the full-history median of 12.9× shown in the valuation table, producing 30.2/100. Positive weekly observations receive equal weight; lower past EPS alone does not disqualify them.

Outlook-adjusted valuation: 32.5/100. The model applies a 18.1% earnings-growth assumption and a 10% annual return hurdle, with positive credit limited by evidence coverage and confidence.

Forward price scenarios use recent PE history separately. Recent history has a separately weighted median of 16.4× (18-month half-life). The favorable scenario uses 17.3× PE and $15.7 projected EPS, informed by growth, margins and earnings-quality checks. This is a model scenario, not an analyst target. A return to the full-history median is not assumed.

Cash flow & growth

Business trends are strong. Over the past year: revenue +16.7%, earnings +39.1%, operating margin +2.9 percentage points. The business score is 72.1/100. Growth, margins and cash generation drive the score. Missing or older data receives less weight.

Favorable scenario

Stronger earnings and valuation could support a higher share price.

Our favorable case uses $15.65 of EPS and a 17.3× PE, suggesting a share price of about $270.55 — 26% above today’s price. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.

Downside scenario

Weaker than expected earnings could put pressure on the share price.

Our downside case uses $10.50 of EPS and a 14.5× PE, suggesting a share price of about $152.73 — 29% below today’s price. Valuation history and outlook inform the PE.

This is a scenario based on our model, not a forecast or probability.
