2.5 FCFF DCF Valuation
Valuation basis: This research model follows a five-year, unlevered FCFF DCF. It starts from reported annual operating inputs, forecasts revenue and operating cash conversion under an explicit mechanical policy, discounts FCFF at WACC, applies a Gordon-growth terminal value, and bridges enterprise value to an indicative common-equity value per share. It is an analytical estimate rather than a recommendation or personalised target price.
Step 1 — Forecast Operating Profit and NOPAT
| Reported operating input |
Value |
| Revenue |
$21.95B |
| Prior annual revenue |
$20.56B |
| EBIT |

| NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) |
$4.77B |
| Forecast start-growth basis |
6.74% |
| Forecast policy |
latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00% |

| Present value of terminal value |
$46.65B |
| Indicated enterprise value |
$63.72B |
