Graham's earnings-multiple formula, anchored to bond yields.
At today's price, the market is pricing in about 40.0% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model 13.2% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 11.1% discount rate (CAPM), 13.2% stage-1 growth, 2.5% terminal growth, $1.89 EPS, $0.60 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
