Build your own intrinsic value for AMC Networks Inc. Start from three cases based on the company's own filings, then change any number to match your view.
The default base case is 16× today's price. A gap that wide usually comes from unusual cash flow history, such as a jump from a low base or a gap in the reported figures, not from a real bargain or bubble. Check the free cash flow history below and set growth you believe before relying on it.

Of the base case valuation
Growth needed to justify today's price
At a 8.0% discount rate, today's price already assumes -10.0% annual free cash flow growth for ten years. Your base case assumes 13.6%, so you are forecasting more growth than the price requires.
Curve holds terminal growth at 2.5%, years 6 to 10 at half the first-stage rate, and applies no safety margin.
Free cash flow history
The most recent period is the base every projection starts from. Compounded, that history is +13.6% a year.
AMC Networks (AMCX) intrinsic value and fair value
The calculator grows one of AMC Networks's per-share figures (earnings, free cash flow, revenue, book value or dividends) for a few years, puts an exit multiple on it, and discounts the result back at the yearly return you want. The answers below use its starting inputs for AMCX; this is analysis, not investment advice.
Frequently asked
What is AMC Networks's (AMCX) intrinsic value?+
With Intrinsiqq's starting inputs, AMC Networks's fair value is about $13.75 a share, based on its free cash flow per share. That assumes free cash flow per share of $4.43 grows about 0.0% a year for 5 years, the stock then trades at 5.0 times free cash flow, and you want a 10.0% yearly return. On its other figures: revenue $16.21. Every input can be changed on the page; the result is a model, not a forecast.
Is AMC Networks overvalued?+
At $8.46, the price is 38% below that fair value of $13.75, and buying at today's price would return about 21.2% a year if those inputs hold. Whether that is cheap or dear depends on whether you believe the growth and the exit multiple, which is what the calculator lets you test. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
What growth does the AMC Networks valuation assume?+
Free cash flow per share grows about 0.0% a year to start, its own recent growth per share (three years for a company not yet profitable, five otherwise). The exit multiple starts at its own median over five years.
What is a good margin of safety for AMC Networks?+
A margin of safety is the cushion you want below the fair value before buying, in case the inputs are wrong. The calculator uses 25%, which puts the buy-below price at $10.31. Less predictable businesses deserve a wider cushion, or a higher desired return.
