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 22.9%.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

The calculated WACC is 6.6%. This value is used as the default discount rate.

Value of Future Flows

Assuming a growth rate of 22.9%, 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 58.8 55.2
2025 72.3 63.6
2026 88.9 73.3
2027 109 84.5
2028 134 97.5
Terminal Value

Assuming a growth rate after the projection years of 2.0%, the terminal value of the company would be 2960 million. This corresponds to a present value of 2010 million.

Intrinsic Value Per Share

The total present value of the projected cash flows is 374 million. Adding in the terminal value gives a total present value of 2380 million.

There are presently 5.38 million outstanding shares, so the intrinsic value per share is 442.76.
