DCF Sensitivity Grid

The grid shows DCF-only value per share across WACC and terminal growth assumptions. The published target price can differ because it blends DCF with market comparables.

Base-Case DCF$73.02
Comparable Midpoint$77.61
Published Target$73.94

Base-case DCF and the center cell should reconcile closely because both use the same blended terminal-value method (9.3% WACC / 2.5% g). The published target then applies a 20% comparable overlay to the DCF value.

Base-case cell: $72.99 using 9.3% WACC and 2.5% terminal growth.

How to Read the Valuation

Plain-English definitions for the main inputs and outputs.

Discount Rate iWACCWeighted average cost of capital is the discount rate used to value future cash flows, blending the cost of equity and debt.WACC = (E/V) x Re + (D/V) x Rd x (1 - T)

The base-case valuation discounts forecast cash flows using a WACC of 9.3%. The cost of equity starts from a 10-year Treasury yield of 4.3% as of Apr 2, 2026. Higher discount rates reduce present value, while lower ones increase it.

Terminal Assumption iTerminal growthThe long-run growth assumption used after the explicit forecast period to estimate continuing value.TV = FCF x (1 + g) / (WACC - g)

After year five, the model uses a terminal growth rate of 2.5% to estimate continuing value. In the base case, terminal value is blended with an exit-multiple cross-check rather than relying on perpetuity growth alone.

Forecast Curve

Revenue starts from 22% and fades toward a steady-state growth rate of 3.5% under a platform profile. The first 3 forecast years use analyst estimates where coverage is available.

Cross-Checks iEV/EBITDAEnterprise value divided by EBITDA, a common multiple for comparing companies with different capital structures.EV/EBITDA = enterprise value / EBITDA iP/EPrice-to-earnings compares the stock price to earnings per share and is a common equity valuation multiple.P/E = share price / earnings per share

Peer multiples anchor a market-based valuation range and help test whether the DCF output looks reasonable relative to similar businesses. The published target price currently uses a 80% DCF / 20% comparable blend, which is why it can differ from the DCF sensitivity grid. The screened peer set cleared an average quality score of 70%.

Risks

Key risks remain deterministic rather than narrative-only. First, revenue growth could decelerate faster than the model fade path, especially if current market demand is cyclical. Second, margin normalization may prove too optimistic if price competition, mix shift, or incremental operating expense dilute returns. Third, valuation is sensitive to the discount rate: WACC at 9.3% and terminal growth at 2.5% are reasonable base assumptions, but even modest moves in either direction can materially shift intrinsic value.
