Watsco Inc. – Warm Air Heating and Air-Conditioning Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers
Watsco is the largest distribution network for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) products with locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and on an export basis to Latin America and the Caribbean. Watsco estimates that over 300,000 contractors and technicians visit or call one of its 600 locations each year to get information, obtain technical support and buy products. HVAC/R products provide comfort to homes and businesses regardless of the outdoor climate. Older systems often operate below today's government mandated energy efficiency and environmental standards. Watsco has an opportunity to accelerate the replacement of these systems at a scale greater than its competitors as the movement toward reducing energy consumption and its environmental impact continues. This is especially important since heating and cooling accounts for approximately half of the energy consumed in a typical U.S. home.

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 21.3%.

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

The calculated WACC is 9.5%. This value is used as the default discount rate.

Value of Future Flows

Assuming a growth rate of 21.3%, 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 (billion) Present value (billion)
2023 1.06 0.965
2024 1.28 1.07
2025 1.55 1.18
2026 1.88 1.31
2027 2.28 1.45
Terminal Value

Assuming a growth rate after the projection years of 2.0%, the terminal value of the company would be 31.1 billion. This corresponds to a present value of 18.1 billion.

Intrinsic Value Per Share

The total present value of the projected cash flows is 5.98 billion. Adding in the terminal value gives a total present value of 24.0 billion.

There are presently 33.3 million outstanding shares, so the intrinsic value per share is 722.34.
