At today's price, the market is pricing in about 38.6% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model 12.0% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 12.0% discount rate (CAPM), 12.0% growth for five years fading to 2.5% over the next five, $6.38 EPS, $2.00 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
Fair-value estimates are model output for educational purposes only — not investment advice or a price target.
