Inputs from the filings
Three sets of assumptions
| Case | Growth yrs 1-5 | Discount rate | Value per share | Value vs price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bear | 9.0% | 10.0% | $115.69 | -73% |
| Base | 14.0% | 9.0% | $215.18 | -49% |
| Bull | 19.0% | 8.0% | $400.51 | -6% |
Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $290.13 | $313.44 | $341.95 | $377.57 | $423.38 |
| 8.0% | $233.86 | $248.99 | $266.86 | $288.30 | $314.52 |
| 9.0% | $192.91 | $203.25 | $215.18 | $229.10 | $245.55 |
| 10.0% | $161.85 | $169.20 | $177.53 | $187.06 | $198.04 |
| 11.0% | $137.53 | $142.92 | $148.94 | $155.72 | $163.40 |
Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at Synopsys Inc's revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (13.9% 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.
