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 $37.38B
Prior annual revenue $25.11B
EBIT $10.13B
Tax rate 11.60%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $8.96B
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 $8.96B
Add: depreciation & amortisation $8.35B
Less: capital expenditure -$15.86B
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement -$666.00M
Current unlevered FCFF $784.80M

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 15.00% $10.30B $9.60B -$18.24B -$765.90M $902.52M $835.51M
2 11.88% $11.52B $10.75B -$17.99B -$856.85M $3.42B $2.72B
3 8.75% $12.53B $11.69B -$16.94B -$931.83M $6.35B $4.32B
4 5.62% $13.24B $12.34B -$15.12B -$984.24M $9.48B $5.52B
5 2.50% $13.57B $12.65B -$12.65B -$1.01B $12.56B $6.27B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 2.21
Cost of equity 16.88%
Pre-tax cost of debt 3.26%
WACC 16.68%
WACC validation requires assumption review

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $90.74B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 3.24x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 68.09%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $19.66B
Present value of terminal value $41.95B
Indicated enterprise value $61.62B
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 $61.62B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $15.28B
Add: cash and equivalents $10.31B
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $0.00
Indicated common equity value $56.64B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 1,125,000,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $936.41
DCF indicative value per share $50.35
Indicative value vs. market price -94.62%

Model Integrity Checks

Check Result
Perpetuity growth is below the risk-free rate pass
Perpetuity growth is below WACC pass
WACC is within the configured operating-company range review required
Terminal-year FCFF is positive pass

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:43:04.282604 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2025-08-31 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.
