Inputs from the filings
Three sets of assumptions
| Case | Growth yrs 1-5 | Discount rate | Value per share | Value vs price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | 4.5% | 10.0% | $65.77 | -67% |
| Base | 9.5% | 9.0% | $107.46 | -46% |
| Bull | 14.5% | 8.0% | $190.58 | -5% |
Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $138.82 | $148.47 | $160.27 | $175.01 | $193.96 |
| 8.0% | $115.36 | $121.62 | $129.02 | $137.89 | $148.74 |
| 9.0% | $98.25 | $102.53 | $107.46 | $113.22 | $120.03 |
| 10.0% | $85.23 | $88.28 | $91.72 | $95.67 | $100.21 |
| 11.0% | $75.02 | $77.25 | $79.74 | $82.55 | $85.72 |
Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at Cintas Corp's revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (9.6% 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.
