Why: Banks, insurers and other financials are valued on the dividends they pay, not on free cash flow.
Details and the full model are below.
Market price below modeled range
Showing the EV/EBITDA (12x) you selected on the company card, using 12.91% growth, 2.4% terminal growth and 9.6% discount. The range varies these assumptions slightly; it is illustrative, not investment advice.
Assumptions: growth 12.91%, discount rate 9.60%, terminal growth 2.40% (sector defaults). See a worked example.
Blended growth assumption: 12.9% (sector default 5.4%, own revenue history 25.6%, analyst revenue consensus 10.3%).
5-year outlook: relative outlook of about 11.5% 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.
Analyst consensus expects revenue growth of 10.3% a year; the growth assumption used is 12.9%.

EPS-based Gordon proxy
— CHF 553.78 (-11.6%)

-
DCF (trailing free cash flow)
— CHF 695.85 (+11.1%)
Not used: Cash-flow models do not suit banks and insurers, whose cash flow is mostly funding and deposits.

Not used: Cash-flow models do not suit banks and insurers, whose cash flow is mostly funding and deposits.
-
EV/EBITDA (12x)

— CHF 688.77 (+10.0%)
Not used: Cash-flow models do not suit banks and insurers, whose cash flow is mostly funding and deposits.

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.
