Earnings multiple (Graham)

At today's price, the market is pricing in about -0.5% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model -5.0% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 7.0% discount rate (CAPM), -5.0% stage-1 growth, 2.5% terminal growth, $0.70 EPS, $0.54 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
