Market price within modeled range
Showing the DCF (trailing free cash flow) you selected on the company card, using 2.81% growth, 2.4% terminal growth and 9.2% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 2.81%, discount rate 9.20%, terminal growth 2.40% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 2.8% (sector default 5.3%, own revenue history 1.8%, analyst revenue consensus 2.1%).
5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 4.2% 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.

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.
