TGM's two-stage DCF values Gen Digital Inc. (GEN) between $25.41 and $51.47 depending on assumptions, with a base case of $36.25. 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 (10.1%) reflects its beta.
What would today's price require?
$29.01 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +10.3% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 10.1% required return — slower than the company has actually grown.
| Scenario | FCF growth (fading to 2.5%) | Discount | Value / share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 11.3%/yr | 11.1% | $25.41 |
| Base case | 14.3%/yr | 10.1% | $36.25 |
| Optimistic | 17.3%/yr | 9.1% | $51.47 |
