Sensitivity: base case value per share
| 1.5% | 2.0% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 3.5% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.0% | $161.10 | $174.61 | $191.12 | $211.76 | $238.29 |
| 8.0% | $127.96 | $136.72 | $147.07 | $159.49 | $174.68 |
| 9.0% | $103.71 | $109.70 | $116.61 | $124.67 | $134.20 |
| 10.0% | $85.22 | $89.48 | $94.30 | $99.82 | $106.18 |
| 11.0% | $70.65 | $73.78 | $77.27 | $81.19 | $85.64 |
Where the presets come from
Base: years 1 to 5 grow at Union Pacific Corp's revenue growth rate over the last 5 fiscal years (4.6% 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.
