The Narrative
The Western Union Company in the Financial Services sector is trading at $7.49 with a market capitalization of $2.5B. Wall Street consensus targets $9.08 (13 analysts), implying a +21.2% move over the next 12 months. The stock is currently near its 52-week low of $7.25, remaining 13.6% below its 200-day moving average. On fundamentals, Piotroski 5/9 shows mixed financial quality, Altman Z in the distress zone. Risk note: RSI 25 is oversold, raising the odds of a near-term bounce; MACD remains below its signal line. The Whystock Score of 50/100 suggests a balanced risk-reward profile.

Whystock Valuation Model
Anchored to each ticker's own 5-year median trailing P/E, tilted by current ROE and growth. Fair P/E = own median P/E + (ROE × 10) + (max(revenue growth, earnings growth) × 15), capped at ±30% around the historical anchor. Fair Value = (Current Price ÷ Trailing P/E) × Fair P/E. Premium compounders like COST/MSFT are judged against their own multi-year norm rather than a sector median. Falls back to the sector-anchored formula (Tech ≈ 28, Comm Services ≈ 24, Utilities ≈ 18, Financials ≈ 14, etc.) for recent IPOs and tickers with insufficient history (< 24 monthly samples). Result is a normalised multiple gauge — not a price target.
