Inputs from the filings
Three sets of assumptions
| Case | Growth yrs 1-5 | Discount rate | Value per share | Value vs price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | 10.0% | 10.0% | $116.64 | -66% |
| Base | 15.0% | 9.0% | $194.31 | -44% |
| Bull | 20.0% | 8.0% | $338.93 | -1% |
Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $253.11 | $271.45 | $293.86 | $321.87 | $357.88 |
| 8.0% | $208.94 | $220.83 | $234.88 | $251.74 | $272.35 |
| 9.0% | $176.80 | $184.93 | $194.31 | $205.25 | $218.19 |
| 10.0% | $152.43 | $158.21 | $164.76 | $172.25 | $180.89 |
| 11.0% | $133.36 | $137.60 | $142.34 | $147.66 | $153.70 |
Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at Alphabet Inc.'s revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (17.2% 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.
