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: 8.4% (range: 0.0% - 9.3%)

Key Projections:

  • Revenue growth from $6,671 (FY06-2024) to $9,341 (FY06-2034)
  • Net profit margin expansion from 12% to 15%
  • Capital expenditures maintained at approximately 2% of revenue
DCF Model Fair Value Enterprise Value % from Terminal Value
5-Year Growth $90 $20,214M 79.8%
10-Year Growth $96 $21,500M 61.6%
5-Year EBITDA $67 $15,570M 73.7%

  • Growth transition: 5 years
  • Cost of equity: 9.5%
  • Long-term growth rate: 3.0%
  • Fair value: $59.85 (-25.6% from current price)

Stable DDM:

  • Stable payout ratio: 70% (Low) to 90% (High)
  • Cost of equity: 10.9% (Low) to 8.2% (High)
  • Long-term growth rate: 2.0% (Low) to 4.0% (High)
  • Fair value range: $33 to $90
  • Selected fair value: $61.05 (-24.1% from current price)
