TGM's two-stage DCF values The Cooper Companies, Inc. (COO) between $18.72 and $44.76 depending on assumptions, with a base case of $29.07. Growth is taken from the company's own record (blend of 5-year revenue and FCF growth), fading to 2.5% long-run; the discount rate (8.3%) reflects its beta.
What would today's price require?
$72.06 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +26.0% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 8.3% required return — faster than the company has actually grown.
| Scenario | FCF growth (fading to 2.5%) | Discount | Value / share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 5.2%/yr | 9.3% | $18.72 |
| Base case | 8.2%/yr | 8.3% | $29.07 |
| Optimistic | 11.2%/yr | 7.3% | $44.76 |

The FMP figure is a third-party point estimate. Its cash-flow forecast, discount rate, terminal growth, and valuation date are not included in the stored response, so TGMCharts presents it only as a reference—not as an intrinsic-value conclusion or price target.
