Base-case summary
Our base-case DCF for Iron Mountain Inc (IRM) projects 10 years of free cash flow growth at 8.0% for years 1–5 and 4.0% for years 6–10, anchored to a default 8% growth assumption, then applies a 2.5% perpetual growth rate and a 8.0% discount rate. Starting from the 3-year average of positive free cash flow ($250M) — TTM FCF was negative, this produces an intrinsic value of $-46.09 per share. A 25% safety margin gives a fair value of $-34.57, suggesting the stock is currently 128% overvalued against the $125.44 market price.

TTM FCF is negative (-$634M). Projecting from a negative base produces nonsensical results, so this model uses the 3-year average of positive FCF ($250M) as the base instead. Treat this valuation as a rough estimate — it assumes a return to historical profitability.
