An idea to help value a stock

I just thought of a way to think of pricing for high-growth stocks. (Or any stock, really.) We could attach a plus-or-minus figure to the current or predicted price, to give a margin of error. That range could be the differences between the current price and the high and low during a time period, or could be based on some other calculation. The range could be interpreted as risk and/or volatility and/or uncertainty.

The range could be expressed in absolute figures or as percentages. For instance, you could give a share price as 103 +/- 18%. The plus and minus percentages don’t have to be equal.

“or some other calculation” - you could use the value from the method that gives you the highest valuation and the method that gives you the lowest. For instance, discounted FCF at one end, and tangible NAV at the other, or the extremes of analyst estimates.
