The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 10.36%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $9968 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $887 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $9081 million. $9081 million / 298 million outstanding shares is approximately $30 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $24/share.
Scenario 2
All else being equal, start at $880 million FCF and assume the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 9% per year then 2.5% growth in FCF per year forever:
