Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $73.83 | $81.44 | $90.74 | $102.36 | $117.31 |
| 8.0% | $55.23 | $60.17 | $66.00 | $73.00 | $81.55 |
| 9.0% | $41.64 | $45.02 | $48.91 | $53.45 | $58.82 |
| 10.0% | $31.29 | $33.69 | $36.41 | $39.51 | $43.10 |

Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at Quaker Chemical Corp's revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (5.9% 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.
