Valuation framework

Starting methods by business type โ€” refine as you add coverage.

DCF

HON.US, WM.US, UNP.US

Stable cash flows and more predictable growth.

EV/EBITDA

CAT.US, ETN.US, GE.US

Cyclical or capital-intensive names with varying leverage.

SOTP

GE.US, HON.US

Distinct units that are better valued separately.

Scenarios

Directional cases for the sector โ€” not stock-level price targets.

Bull

Capex supercycle in grid, aero, and reshoring; rails reprice freight.

Multiple expansion
Base

Infrastructure and data-center spend offset a soft manufacturing PMI; aero deliveries grind higher.

Fair value
Bear

Global capex freeze, destocking at dealers, and defense/program delays.
