Analysis Details
Growth Rate Projection

An exponential growth model was fit to the past cash flow data, giving more weight to more recent years. This model determined a growth rate estimate of 8.6%.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

The calculated WACC is 6.7%. This value is used as the default discount rate.

Value of Future Flows

Assuming a growth rate of 8.6%, the cash flows for the next 5 years are projected.

The present value of each year's flow is adjusted to present value using the discount rate.

Year Future flow (million) Present value (million)
2024 184 172
2025 200 175
2026 217 179
2027 236 182
2028 256 185
Terminal Value

Assuming a growth rate after the projection years of 2.0%, the terminal value of the company would be 5550 million. This corresponds to a present value of 3760 million.

Intrinsic Value Per Share

The total present value of the projected cash flows is 893 million. Adding in the terminal value gives a total present value of 4660 million.

There are presently 36.0 million outstanding shares, so the intrinsic value per share is 129.28.
