Covered for reference — doesn’t pass our quality screen (market cap $3.9B, under our $20B floor; ROE under 12% and ROIC under 10%; net debt 3.5× EBITDA (limit 3×)). We show its price, Market Value and DCF, but it never appears in Dips, Top Picks or reversal signals. The screen

Valuation

What we estimate it's worth, and how it ranks on value vs every stock we cover.

Fair value estimate

Estimate unreliable for LGN: the model gives 260% above the price, more than we can stand behind (usually peak-cycle cash flow, heavy debt, or cash flows that include customer or loan balances). We’d rather show nothing than a made-up number.

What the price implies To be worth today’s price, LGN’s free cash flow would need to shrink about 8% a year for five years; our estimate uses 15%.

Risk vs market

How risk vs market is measured

One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much LGN moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.

High

Swings much more than the market, and its own price swings are 5.7× the S&P 500’s.
