At today's price, the market is pricing in about 40.0% annual free-cash-flow growth. We model 8.2% — so the price already assumes faster growth than we think is likely.
Assumptions: 7.0% discount rate (CAPM), 8.2% stage-1 growth, 2.5% terminal growth, $3.61 EPS, $2.00 annual dividend. Updated weekly.
