Optimize intrinsic value calculation ( Discounted Cash Flow )
Discount Rate
By default, the discount rate follows the fixed deposit interest rate. However, users can overwrite this rate in the settings panel if needed. The discount rate represents the rate of return required by investors to compensate for the time value of money and risk associated with the investment.
Owner Earnings
Owner earnings are calculated as the lower of Free Cash Flow (FCF) or Earnings. Free Cash Flow is calculated as Operating Cash Flow minus Capital Expenditures, while Earnings calculated using the net income of the company.
Growth Rate
We incorporate the lesser of the most recent 5 years' average revenue growth rate or cash flow from operating activities (CFOA) growth rate in our calculation, thereby ensuring a more conservative projection of future growth.
Initial Growth Phase
In estimating the intrinsic value of a company's stock, we utilize a five-year period to represent the Initial Growth Phase.
Terminal Growth Phase
For the Terminal Growth Phase, we apply a growth rate of 1% to the company's overall growth rate. If the initial growth phase growth rate is 10% per year, then 1% of that growth rate would be 0.1% per year.
