2 — Graham Number

Assumptions

MultiplierGraham used 22.5 (15× P/E × 1.5× P/B)

EPS (trailing)($)Yahoo: $0.46

Book Value / share($)Yahoo: $8.06

Results

Graham Number$9.13

Current Price$8.04

Margin of Safety+13.6%

Formula: √(22.5 × max(0,EPS) × max(0,BVPS))

3 — Reverse DCF (Implied Growth)

Assumptions

WACC(%)Computed: 6.39%

Terminal growth rate(%)

Computed WACC: 6.39%

Cost of equity (Re)12.46%(Rf 4.30% + β 1.48 × ERP 5.50%)

Cost of debt (Rd)0.00%(no debt / unavailable → 0%)

Tax rate (T)21.00%(US statutory fallback)

Debt weight (D/V)48.67%

Results

Current Price$8.04

Implied Near-term FCF Growth-15.6%

Historical Revenue Growth1.9%

Historical Earnings Growth-53.6%

Base FCF (TTM)$115.38M

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

Annual dividend D0($/share)Yahoo: —

Dividend growth rate (g)(%)

Required return (r)(%)

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$8.04

Upside / Downside—

Formula: D0 × (1+g) / (r − g)

5 — EV/EBITDA Multiple

EBITDA($B)Yahoo: $152.29M

Target EV/EBITDA multipleCurrent: 5.8×

Net Debt($B)Default: $411.24M

Results

Implied Equity Value / share$7.88

Current Price$8.04

Upside / Downside-2.0%

Implied EV$882.68M
