Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $35.05 | $37.58 | $40.66 | $44.52 | $49.48 |
| 8.0% | $28.85 | $30.48 | $32.42 | $34.74 | $37.58 |
| 9.0% | $24.30 | $25.42 | $26.71 | $28.22 | $30.00 |
| 10.0% | $20.83 | $21.63 | $22.53 | $23.56 | $24.75 |
| 11.0% | $18.10 | $18.69 | $19.34 | $20.07 | $20.90 |
Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at Acme United Corp's revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (3.7% a year), held between -5% and 15%. Years 6 to 10 grow halfway between that and the long-run rate of 2.5%. Future cash is discounted at 9% a year.
Bear: 5 points less growth, 2% long-run growth, 10% discount rate. Bull: 5 points more growth (at most 25%), 3% long-run growth, 8% discount rate.
Value per share = (present value of 10 years of free cash flow + present value of everything after + cash - debt) / diluted shares.
This is a model run on assumptions, not a recommendation or a price target. Small changes in the discount rate or growth move the result a lot, as the table above shows. Change them yourself in the calculator.
