EPS-based Gordon proxy
— USD 62.57 (-68.7%)
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 197.90 (-1.1%)
Not used: Free cash flow is 2.3x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
-
FCFF (steady state)
— USD 140.76 (-29.7%)
Not used: Free cash flow is 2.3x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)
— USD 78.56 (-60.8%)
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 195.81 (-2.2%)
Not used: Free cash flow is 2.3x net income, which usually means costs such as lease payments sit outside operating cash flow, so it may be overstated.
