Showing the Fade DCF (10-year growth fade) you selected on the company card, using 17.65% growth, 3.1% terminal growth and 10.8% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 17.65%, discount rate 10.80%, terminal growth 3.10% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 17.6% (sector default 7.2%, own revenue history 12.2%, analyst revenue consensus 25.6%).
5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 7.1% 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.

EPS-based Gordon proxy
— USD 30.87 (-57.1%)
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 32.75 (-54.5%)
Not used: Not chosen: Normalised free-cash-flow DCF ranks ahead of it for this company.

FCFF (steady state)
— USD 16.67 (-76.8%)
Not used: Assumes only the long-run terminal growth rate from today, so it ignores the near-term growth expected.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)
— USD 3.13 (-95.6%)
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 32.31 (-55.1%)
Not used: An alternative growth path (fading over 10 years) shown for comparison; the automatic choice does not use it.

— USD 138.50 (+92.5%)
Not used: Used only for technology and communication companies whose cash-flow value is far below the price.
