The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 12.18%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $13,866 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $4358 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $9508 million.  $9508 million / 158 million outstanding shares is approximately $60 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $48/share.


Scenario 2
Starting at $1028 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 4.25% per year forever:
