Why: Free cash flow is positive and in line with earnings, and the dividend is small, so a cash-flow DCF fits best.
Details and the full model are below.
Selected model not applicable
EV/EBITDA (12x) needs inputs this company does not have (for example positive earnings, free cash flow or EBITDA), so it gives no usable value.
Assumptions: growth 2%, discount rate 9.20%, terminal growth 2.40% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 2.0% (sector default 5.3%, own revenue history -2.0%, analyst revenue consensus 0.2%).
5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 8.9% a year (Medium confidence), anchored to a 7% market return and adjusted for how this company ranks against others. A ranking aid, not a prediction. See the full forecast.
Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of 0.2% a year; the growth assumption used is 2.0%.
