Chewy, Inc. (CHWY) DCF Valuation
Transparent DCF models put Chewy, Inc. (CHWY)'s fair value in a range of $16.60 – $19.79 — the low end is TGM's conservative base case (5% FCF growth, 10% discount), the high end the analyst consensus (FMP). Today's price of $20.40 sits above that range — by these conservative assumptions it looks richly valued; the reverse-DCF below is the better lens for a high-growth name.
Reverse DCF: at today's $20.40, the market is pricing in roughly +8.1%/yr free-cash-flow growth over the next decade (at a 10% required return) — versus its actual 5-year FCF CAGR of +208.4%. The price assumes a slowdown from its track record — a potential value signal if growth holds.
