Using a Comparable Analysis to Determine a AA Price Forecast
- Price to Book (P/B): AA’s current P/B ratio is 1.6, compared to the average P/B ratio of AA’s peers being 2.05. This implies that AA is undervalued and its share price should change by a factor of 28.27% to be at fair value (based on AA’s P/B compared to the P/B of their peers).
- Price to Earnings (P/E): AA stock P/E ratio is currently 9.63, compared to the average P/E ratio of AA’s peers being 10.4. This implies that AA is undervalued and its share price should change by a factor of 7.97% to be at fair value (based on AA’s P/E compared to the P/E of its peers).
By taking the average result of the P/E and P/B comparable analyses, we can predict the AA stock to increase by (an average of) 18.12% to reach their “fair value”. Applying this to the current AA stock price of $50.38 implies a forecasted price of $59.51
What is AA Analyst Sentiment Looking Like?
Analyst Ratings have provided a relatively strong indicator of future price movement, which is why they are used to (hopefully) support our AA stock forecast. There are a total of 40 analyst ratings for AA, which are distributed as follows:
24 Buys
16 Holds
0 Sells
Over 50% (60% to be precise) of analysts have given the AA stock a ‘buy” rating. Based on the current AA analyst ratings there seems to be an overall bullish sentiment, with analyst “buy” ratings forming a majority of total ratings given. This is good news for us as the majority of analysts are in consensus with my price target, which reinforces my belief that the AA stock is undervalued.
AA Stock Forecast and Conclusion
Based on my AA stock forecast of $58.90 per share and the overall bullish analyst sentiment for the AA stock, I would agree with the analysts and say AA is a buy.
