2 — Graham Number

Assumptions

Graham used 22.5 (15× P/E × 1.5× P/B)
Yahoo: $1.96
Yahoo: $3.94

Results

Graham Number$13.19
Current Price$33.53
Margin of Safety-60.7%
Formula: √(22.5 × max(0,EPS) × max(0,BVPS))

3 — Reverse DCF (Implied Growth)

Assumptions

Computed: 11.40%
Computed WACC: 11.40%
Cost of equity (Re)12.08%(Rf 4.30% + β 1.41 × ERP 5.50%)
Cost of debt (Rd)0.00%(no debt / unavailable → 0%)
Tax rate (T)21.00%(US statutory fallback)

Current Price$33.53
Implied Near-term FCF Growth4.4%
Historical Revenue Growth5.5%
Historical Earnings Growth19.5%
Base FCF (TTM)$219.40M
Implied growth is the FCF growth rate (yrs 1–5) that makes the DCF intrinsic value equal the current price. Long-term growth is set to half the implied near-term rate.

4 — Dividend Discount Model (DDM)

Assumptions

Yahoo: —

Results

This company does not pay a dividend. DDM is not applicable — the intrinsic value shown uses D0 = $0 unless you enter a hypothetical dividend above.
DDM Intrinsic Value / share
Current Price$33.53
Upside / Downside
Formula: D0 × (1+g) / (r − g)
