Peer Comparison
Whystock Valuation Model
Whystock fair value is estimated using a trailing P/E model adjusted for return on equity: Fair P/E = 18 + (ROE × 20). Fair Value = (Current Price ÷ Trailing P/E) × Fair P/E. A base P/E of 18 represents a typical market multiple, scaled upward for companies that earn high returns on equity. The result is a theoretical "normalised" price — not a price target or investment advice. Large deviations are common for high-growth or loss-making companies.

MDU (MDU) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
At the same time, rate relief and recent investments such as the Badger Wind Farm and other pipeline expansions contributed positive results, and we continue to see encouraging demand trends, including interest tied to data center development. As a reminder, we have not yet reached a final investment decision on this potential project, but we are certainly encouraged with the approximately 1.4 billion cubic feet per day of submitted interest received in the open season. Included in the signed precedent agreements is a firm capacity commitment of $50 million annually for 10 years from the state of North Dakota.
