Inputs from the filings
Three sets of assumptions
| Case | Growth yrs 1-5 | Discount rate | Value per share | Value vs price |

| Bear | -7.5% | 10.0% | $8.29 | -7% |
| Base | -2.5% | 9.0% | $12.42 | +40% |
| Bull | 2.5% | 8.0% | $20.44 | +130% |
Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $15.21 | $16.04 | $17.06 | $18.32 | $19.95 |
| 8.0% | $13.15 | $13.68 | $14.32 | $15.08 | $16.01 |
| 9.0% | $11.63 | $11.99 | $12.42 | $12.91 | $13.50 |
| 10.0% | $10.46 | $10.72 | $11.02 | $11.36 | $11.75 |
| 11.0% | $9.54 | $9.73 | $9.94 | $10.19 | $10.46 |
Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at Forrester Research, Inc.'s revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (-2.4% 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.
