The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 11.72%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $70,916 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $11,289 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $59,627 million.  $59,627 million / 915 million outstanding shares is approximately $65 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $52/share.


Scenario 2
Starting at $5041 million FCF, assuming the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 11% per year, and then a growth rate in FCF of 3.75% per year forever:

  3. The stock is trading at a 30% premium to its valuations. Bidness Etc sees little room for growth as margin expansion has already been priced in. Trading near its 52-week high.http://bit.ly/1ikTnUy
