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 $8.35B
Prior annual revenue $5.22B
EBIT $3.42B
Tax rate 21.90%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $2.67B
Forecast start-growth basis 15.00%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT $2.67B
Add: depreciation & amortisation $2.60B
Less: capital expenditure -$2.29B
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement -$230.08M
Current unlevered FCFF $2.75B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 15.00% $3.07B $2.99B -$2.63B -$264.59M $3.16B $3.06B
2 11.88% $3.43B $3.35B -$3.04B -$296.01M $3.44B $3.10B
3 8.75% $3.73B $3.64B -$3.42B -$321.91M $3.63B $3.05B
4 5.62% $3.94B $3.84B -$3.73B -$340.02M $3.72B $2.92B
5 2.50% $4.04B $3.94B -$3.94B -$348.52M $3.69B $2.71B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.58
Cost of equity 7.89%
Pre-tax cost of debt 5.09%
WACC 7.14%
WACC validation within standard range

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $81.52B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 8.94x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 79.56%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $14.84B
Present value of terminal value $57.74B
Indicated enterprise value $72.57B
Discounting convention mid-year for explicit FCFF; terminal value discounted at year-end five

Step 6 — Convert Enterprise Value to Equity Value

Equity bridge Value
Indicated enterprise value $72.57B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $7.86B
Add: cash and equivalents $110.80M
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $3.61B
Indicated common equity value $61.22B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 615,717,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $53.19
DCF indicative value per share $99.42
Indicative value vs. market price 86.92%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:32:03.712858 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2025-12-31 00:00:00. Default assumptions: five-year forecast, mid-year discounting for explicit FCFF, a maximum 2.50% perpetuity-growth rate below both WACC and the risk-free rate, historical operating-ratio persistence, and capex convergence to D&A by year five. No sell-side consensus or management guidance is substituted for reported inputs. This is research and analysis only, not personalized financial advice.
