The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 11.81%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $54745 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $15800 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $38945 million. $38945 million / 1800 million outstanding shares is approximately $22 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $17/share.
Scenario 2
All else being equal, assume the company achieves a 5-year growth rate in FCF of 14% per year, then growth in FCF of 5.50% per year forever: :
