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 $21.86B
Prior annual revenue $21.32B
EBIT $2.53B
Tax rate 16.87%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $2.10B
Forecast start-growth basis 2.53%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT $2.10B
Add: depreciation & amortisation $1.22B
Less: capital expenditure -$424.00M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement $22.00M
Current unlevered FCFF $2.92B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 2.53% $2.16B $1.25B -$434.74M $22.56M $3.00B $2.88B
2 2.52% $2.21B $1.29B -$655.95M $23.13M $2.86B $2.55B
3 2.52% $2.27B $1.32B -$887.99M $23.71M $2.72B $2.24B
4 2.51% $2.32B $1.35B -$1.13B $24.30M $2.57B $1.96B
5 2.50% $2.38B $1.39B -$1.39B $24.91M $2.41B $1.70B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.75
Cost of equity 8.81%
Pre-tax cost of debt 5.11%
WACC 8.02%
WACC validation within standard range

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $44.65B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 10.51x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 72.81%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $11.34B
Present value of terminal value $30.36B
Indicated enterprise value $41.70B
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 $41.70B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $11.12B
Add: cash and equivalents $1.07B
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $0.00
Indicated common equity value $31.65B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 188,400,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $283.66
DCF indicative value per share $168.00
Indicative value vs. market price -40.77%

WACC is within the configured operating-company range pass
Terminal-year FCFF is positive pass

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:40:09.282721 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.
