Free-cash-flow DCF

Market price above modeled range

Free-cash-flow DCF using TTM through 31 Aug 2026 reported free cash flow, with cash, debt, and shares from the latest report. Base assumptions are 2.25% growth, 3.1% terminal growth, and 10.8% discount. Low/high cases vary growth by 2 and terminal growth/discount by 1 percentage point; this illustrative range is not a statistical confidence interval or investment advice.

Assumptions: growth 2.25%, discount rate 10.80%, terminal growth 3.10% (sector defaults). See a worked example.

Blended growth assumption: 2.2% (sector default 7.2%, own revenue history -0.2%, analyst revenue consensus 1.0%).

5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 4.9% a year (High 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 1.0% a year; the growth assumption used is 2.3%.

Adjust assumptions

Why this model: Free cash flow is positive and in line with earnings, and the dividend is small, so a cash-flow DCF fits best.

Compare models
  • Recommended: Free-cash-flow DCF — USD 16.50 (-58.3%)
  • EPS-based Gordon proxy — USD 24.92 (-37.0%)
    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 16.50 (-58.3%)
    Not used: Not chosen: Free-cash-flow DCF ranks ahead of it for this company.
  • FCFF (steady state) — USD 17.17 (-56.6%)
    Not used: Assumes only the long-run terminal growth rate from today, so it ignores the near-term growth expected.
  • EV/EBITDA (12x) — USD 35.08 (-11.3%)
    Not used: Used only when free cash flow is far below earnings even after averaging three years; a fixed 12x multiple also ignores sector differences.
  • Fade DCF (10-year growth fade) — USD 16.52 (-58.2%)
    Not used: An alternative growth path (fading over 10 years) shown for comparison; the automatic choice does not use it.
  • EV/Sales (Rule of 40) — USD 73.59 (+86.0%)
    Not used: Used only for technology and communication companies whose cash-flow value is far below the price.
Illustrative range / share USD 12.01–24.25
Base scenario / share USD 16.50
Margin of safety (share of value) Above the bull case
Bear USD 12.01-229.5%
Base USD 16.50-139.8%
Bull USD 24.25-63.1%

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.

Market-implied expectations 22.7% FCF growth / yr

At USD 39.56 the market implies about this annual free-cash-flow growth for 5 years (terminal 3.1%, discount 10.8%).

Compare: the market implies 22.7% a year, this model assumes 2.3%. The market expects more than this model does, which is why it reads as overvalued.
