How we get there
Dividend discount
Discounts the future dividend stream back to today.
At today's price, the market is pricing in about 40.0% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model -5.0% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 8.9% discount rate (CAPM), -5.0% stage-1 growth, 2.5% terminal growth, $0.94 EPS, $2.00 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
Fair-value estimates are model output for educational purposes only — not investment advice or a price target.
