5-year outlook–

5-year outlook: Not shown because confidence is low: Earnings-based DCF disagrees strongly.

Why: Free cash flow is far below earnings (heavy investment), and even a three-year average understates value, so an EV/EBITDA multiple, which is not distorted by capex timing, fits best.

Start with the price and fair value range, then review the data dates and assumptions below. Estimates are not predictions or investment advice.

Fade DCF (10-year growth fade)

Market price below modeled range

Showing the Fade DCF (10-year growth fade) you selected on the company card, using 3.92% growth, 2.5% terminal growth and 9.2% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.

Assumptions: growth 3.92%, discount rate 9.20%, terminal growth 2.50% (sector defaults). See a worked example.

Blended growth assumption: 3.9% (sector default 4.6%, own revenue history 21.9%, analyst revenue consensus -5.4%).

Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of -5.4% a year; the growth assumption used is 3.9%.

Why this model: Free cash flow is far below earnings (heavy investment), and even a three-year average understates value, so an EV/EBITDA multiple, which is not distorted by capex timing, fits best.

  • Recommended: EV/EBITDA (12x) — USD 214.56 (+18.6%)
  • EPS-based Gordon proxy — USD 88.06 (-51.3%)
    Not used: Treats all earnings as if paid out and ignores the cash kept for reinvestment, so it overstates value for companies that retain most profit.
  • DCF (trailing free cash flow) — USD 445.51 (+146.2%)
    Not used: Free cash flow is 5.3x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
  • FCFF (steady state) — USD 416.36 (+130.1%)
    Not used: Free cash flow is 5.3x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
  • EV/EBITDA (12x) — USD 214.56 (+18.6%)
  • Fade DCF (10-year growth fade) — USD 444.49 (+145.6%)
    Not used: Free cash flow is 5.3x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
  • EV/Sales (Rule of 40) — USD 429.77 (+137.5%)
    Not used: Used only for technology and communication companies whose cash-flow value is far below the price.

Margin = (value − price) / value, so it is measured against the value and reads lower than the upside to value, which is measured against the price. Positive means the price is below that case.
