First Foundation (FFWM) intrinsic value and fair value
The calculator grows one of First Foundation'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 FFWM; this is analysis, not investment advice.
Frequently asked
What is First Foundation's (FFWM) intrinsic value?+
With Intrinsiqq's starting inputs, First Foundation's fair value is about $8.20 a share, based on its book value per share. That assumes book value per share of $11.00 grows about 0.0% a year for 5 years, the stock then trades at 1.2 times book value, and you want a 10.0% yearly return. Every input can be changed on the page; the result is a model, not a forecast.
What growth does the First Foundation valuation assume?+
Book value 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 a default.
What is a good margin of safety for First Foundation?+
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 $6.15. Less predictable businesses deserve a wider cushion, or a higher desired return.
