Inputs from the filings
Three sets of assumptions
| Case | Growth yrs 1-5 | Discount rate | Value per share | Value vs price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | -8.0% | 10.0% | $2.92 | -93% |
| Base | -3.0% | 9.0% | $5.29 | -88% |
| Bull | 2.0% | 8.0% | $9.71 | -78% |
Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $6.89 | $7.37 | $7.95 | $8.68 | $9.61 |
| 8.0% | $5.71 | $6.02 | $6.38 | $6.82 | $7.35 |
| 9.0% | $4.84 | $5.05 | $5.29 | $5.57 | $5.91 |
| 10.0% | $4.17 | $4.32 | $4.49 | $4.68 | $4.90 |
| 11.0% | $3.64 | $3.75 | $3.87 | $4.01 | $4.16 |
Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at People Inc's revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (-2.8% 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.

Move the sliders for growth, long-run growth and discount rate, or switch to average free cash flow, and see the value per share change.
