At today's price, the market is pricing in about 40.0% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model 6.9% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 7.8% discount rate (CAPM), 6.9% stage-1 growth, 2.5% terminal growth, $3.85 EPS, $3.15 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
