Of the base case valuation
Growth needed to justify today's price
At a 8.0% discount rate, today's price already assumes 7.0% annual free cash flow growth for ten years. Your base case assumes 5.2%, so the market is paying for growth you are not forecasting.
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 +5.2% a year.
Nestlé (NESN.XSWX) intrinsic value and fair value
The calculator grows one of Nestlé'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 NESN.XSWX; this is analysis, not investment advice.
Frequently asked
What is Nestlé's (NESN.XSWX) intrinsic value?+
With Intrinsiqq's starting inputs, Nestlé's fair value is about CHF 57.30 a share, based on its earnings per share. That assumes earnings per share of CHF 3.51 grows about 0.0% a year for 5 years, the stock then trades at 20.9 times earnings, and you want a 10.0% yearly return. On its other figures: free cash flow CHF 94.90, revenue CHF 77.11, dividends CHF 72.19. Every input can be changed on the page; the result is a model, not a forecast.
Is Nestlé overvalued?+
At CHF 84.36, the price is 47% above that fair value of CHF 57.30, and buying at today's price would return about 1.0% 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 company filings, not investment advice.
What growth does the Nestlé valuation assume?+
Earnings 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 Nestlé?+
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 CHF 42.98. Less predictable businesses deserve a wider cushion, or a higher desired return.
