TGM's two-stage DCF values The Cooper Companies, Inc. (COO) between $19.32 and $46.27 depending on assumptions, with a base case of $30.00. Growth is taken from the company's own record (5-year revenue CAGR (FCF growth too volatile to use)), fading to 2.5% long-run; the discount rate (8.2%) reflects its beta.
What would today's price require?
$53.91 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +19.3% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 8.2% required return — about in line with its track record.
| Scenario | FCF growth (fading to 2.5%) | Discount | Value / share |

| Base case | 8.3%/yr | 8.2% | $30.00 |
