Valuation Methods

1. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Valuation

Our DCF model projects cash flows over 5-year and 10-year horizons, with the following key assumptions:

  • Forecast Period: 5-year DCF and 10-year DCF
  • Terminal Growth Rate: 0.0% (range: 3.0% - 5.0%)
  • Discount Rate: 9.0% (range: 0.0% - 9.3%)

Key Projections:

  • Revenue growth from $18,682 (FY12-2024) to $31,606 (FY12-2034)
  • Net profit margin expansion from 17% to 27%
  • Capital expenditures maintained at approximately 17% of revenue
DCF Model Fair Value Enterprise Value % from Terminal Value
5-Year Growth $68 $78,745M 77.6%
10-Year Growth $79 $90,949M 60.2%
5-Year EBITDA $53 $61,932M 71.6%
10-Year EBITDA $65 $75,818M 52.3%

2. Dividend Discount Model (DDM)

The DDM values a company based on its expected future dividend payments. We used two approaches:

Multi-Stage DDM:

  • Current payout ratio: 22.5%
  • Stable payout ratio: 90.0%
  • Growth transition: 5 years
  • Cost of equity: 9.9%
  • Long-term growth rate: 3.0%
  • Fair value: $50.80 (-9.2% from current price)

Stable DDM:

  • Stable payout ratio: 70% (Low) to 90% (High)
  • Cost of equity: 11.0% (Low) to 8.8% (High)
  • Long-term growth rate: 2.0% (Low) to 4.0% (High)
  • Fair value range: $35 to $86
  • Selected fair value: $60.80 (8.7% from current price)

3. Earnings Power Value (EPV)

EPV assesses a company's value based on its current normalized earnings power, assuming no growth.

Investment Decision Framework

To determine the most reliable intrinsic value estimate, we weigh each valuation method based on:

  1. Forecast Certainty: DCF methods rely on long-term projections, while earnings power value focuses on current normalized earnings
  2. Business Model Alignment: Dividend models are more appropriate for mature companies with established dividend policies
  3. Historical Accuracy: How well each method has predicted fair value historically
