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.
Market price below modeled range
Showing the EV/EBITDA (12x) you selected on the company card, using 5.11% growth, 2.7% terminal growth and 10% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 5.11%, discount rate 10%, terminal growth 2.70% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 5.1% (sector default 6.2%, own revenue history 4.6%, analyst revenue consensus 4.8%).
5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 6.6% 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 4.8% a year; the growth assumption used is 5.1%.

EPS-based Gordon proxy
— USD 79.34 (-6.9%)
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 62.39 (-26.8%)
Not used: Not chosen: Free-cash-flow DCF ranks ahead of it for this company.
-
FCFF (steady state)
— USD 55.30 (-35.1%)
Not used: Assumes only the long-run terminal growth rate from today, so it ignores the near-term growth expected.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)
— USD 106.65 (+25.1%)
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 62.12 (-27.1%)
Not used: An alternative growth path (fading over 10 years) shown for comparison; the automatic choice does not use it.

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.
