Investment view
Year-to-date profit has improved, but profit is running ahead of cash.
Target and reference price
Target for 2027-09-11: $378.10 USD, -0.4% versus the $379.72 weekly close on 2026-09-11. Price return only; dividends, fees and tax excluded.
Price and earnings
Over 1 year (2025-09-12 to 2026-09-11), price changed +238.3% and trailing EPS changed +142.3%. A wider gap changes the earnings multiple; it does not establish fair value.
Supporting evidence
Across 2 completed quarters since 2025-12-31, net income was 773.4m versus 177.3m in the matching prior-year periods (USD). Check whether the latest quarter changes that direction.
Net debt / EBITDA: -0.2ร for TER, against 0.7ร across 12 comparable peers.
Risks to the case
Over the latest four quarters, operating cash was 0.93 times net income. Review receivables, inventory and non-cash charges before judging the gap.
Over 1 year (2025-09-12 to 2026-09-11), price changed +238.3% and trailing EPS changed +142.3%. A wider gap changes the earnings multiple; it does not establish fair value.
What to monitor
Compare the next results with the trailing margin of 30.2% and the annual-history median of 21.1%. A historical median is context, not a forecast.
The latest quarterly margin changed +19.0 percentage points from a year earlier. Check sales volumes, pricing and unusual gains in the next filing.
Recheck the valuation gap alongside profitability and growth after new results. A discount alone does not establish value.
Valuation assumptions
Starting annual sales growth: 30%.
Net profit margin: 22.5%.
