Discounted Cash Flow Valuation
The firm's future free cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 5.08%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $12524 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $2606 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $9918 million. $9918 million / 130 million outstanding shares is approximately $76 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $61/share.
