Graham used 22.5 (15× P/E × 1.5× P/B)
Yahoo: $4.07
Yahoo: $20.14

Results

Graham Number$42.95
Current Price$303.36

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

3 — Reverse DCF (Implied Growth)

Assumptions

Computed: 9.73%
Computed WACC: 9.73%
Cost of equity (Re)9.94%(Rf 4.30% + β 1.02 × ERP 5.50%)
Cost of debt (Rd)4.37%(interest expense ÷ avg debt (SEC))

Current Price$303.36
Implied Near-term FCF Growth27.1%
Historical Revenue Growth6.2%
Historical Earnings Growth14.6%
Base FCF (TTM)$1.51B
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$303.36
Upside / Downside
Formula: D0 × (1+g) / (r − g)
