What is priced in?
Instead of guessing what the stock is worth, we turn the question around: what free cash flow growth has to happen for today’s market value to add up? The assumptions behind it can be moved.
Today’s market value implies roughly 22.5% growth in free cash flow per year over ten years (assumptions: discount rate 10.0%, terminal growth 2.5%).
| Free cash flow (last twelve months) | $376.5M |
|---|---|
| Market cap | $22.27B |
| Free cash flow in year ten | $2.87B |
| Terminal value as a share of market value | 67.9% |
For comparison: over the past five years free cash flow grew by 2.4% per year.
It shows which assumption is built into today’s price, not whether that assumption will hold. Every assumption can be changed with the sliders; the figures move with them.
A simplified model calculation — not a forecast and not a recommendation.

Growth Score
5 of 10 Solid growthTen checks against the annual reports — each one passed counts a point.
- Revenue grows by more than 15% a year over three years 14.4% failed
- More than 10% revenue growth is expected for the coming year 8.7% failed
- Share count grows by less than 3% a year -1.0% passed
- Revenue growth plus cash-flow margin add up to at least 40 ("Rule of 40") 16.9% failed
- Gross margin at 40% or higher and without meaningful erosion 26.8% failed
- Goodwill from acquisitions does not grow faster than revenue 18.0% passed
- Net debt below twice EBITDA 0.6 x EBITDA passed

- Return on capital at 15% or higher, or up versus two years ago 13.7% passed
- Insiders hold at least 10% or are net buyers 0.3% failed
A criterion without figures counts neither as passed nor as failed; a score is only produced from 7 judgeable criteria upwards. Source: fundamental data. All ten criteria in detail
Highlighted are things our editorial team noticed: green = stands out as strong, red = deserves a closer look. No single metric is a verdict on its own — always read it in context.

- EPS (Earnings Per Share):
- Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
- YoY (Year over Year):
- Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
- Sales:
- All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
- Net Margin:
- What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
- OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
- The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
- FCF (Free Cash Flow):
- Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
