Why: Dividends are a large share of earnings, so the cash paid to shareholders is the best guide to value.
Details and the full model are below.
Selected model not applicable
DCF (trailing free cash flow) needs inputs this company does not have (for example positive earnings, free cash flow or EBITDA), so it gives no usable value.
Assumptions: growth 6.33%, discount rate 8.60%, terminal growth 2.20% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 6.3% (sector default 4.0%, own revenue history 7.3%, analyst revenue consensus 7.0%).
5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 7.2% 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 7.0% a year; the growth assumption used is 6.3%.
