At today's price, the market is pricing in about 40.0% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model 13.1% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 9.5% discount rate (CAPM), 13.1% stage-1 growth, 2.5% terminal growth, $4.87 EPS, $1.85 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
