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

3 — Reverse DCF (Implied Growth)

Assumptions

Computed: 7.23%
Computed WACC: 7.23%
Cost of equity (Re)7.36%(Rf 4.30% + β 0.56 × ERP 5.50%)
Cost of debt (Rd)0.00%(no debt / unavailable → 0%)

Historical Revenue Growth-0.5%
Historical Earnings Growth-1.2%
Base FCF (TTM)$320.57M
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$22.60
Upside / Downside
Formula: D0 × (1+g) / (r − g)
