Market-based and intrinsic valuations of SaskPower
The best probable estimate of the total market capitalization, that is, the total value of the company were it to be traded on a public stock exchange, is $1.752-billion to $2.617-billion, with the average of the three key metrics chosen being $2.348-billion. The calculation used to arrive at this range of figures was performed using comparison companies, the closest peers being five Canadian regional power and gas utility companies. However, other independent or renewable energy-oriented Canadian firms and 14 regional (some multi-state) U.S. companies were also used.
