Current Price: ~ $33/share
Projected Yield: ~ 3.06%

The company also runs a specialty converting business that produces radio frequency identification inlays and labels. Avery Dennison draws a significant amount of revenue from outside the United States, with international operations accounting for 66% of sales in 2009.

The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 12.88%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $4284 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $1570 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $2714 million.  $2714 million / 106 million outstanding shares is approximately $26 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $20/share.


Scenario 2
Starting at $403 million FCF, assuming the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 7% per year, and then a growth rate in FCF of 3.00% per year forever:
