Why we don't show a single “fair value” for KLIC
Even the optimistic scenario of a conservative trailing-FCF model ($34.63) sits far below today's price — the market is paying for growth and durability beyond what this model structure captures. The honest lens is the question below: what growth does today's price actually require? The model scenarios are listed further down for reference.
What would today's price require?
$97.29 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +38.2% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 11.5% required return — faster than the company has actually grown.
| Scenario | FCF growth (fading to 2.5%) | Discount | Value / share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 0.5%/yr | 12.5% | $24.54 |
| Base case | 2.0%/yr | 11.5% | $28.16 |
| Optimistic | 5.0%/yr | 10.5% | $34.63 |

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.

Edit the assumptions to see how they change the estimated fair value. Opens seeded with TGM's data-driven base case for KLIC (growth from its own 5-year record, discount from its beta), so the sandbox starts where the scenarios above leave off. Illustrative model — not investment advice.

How the estimated fair value shifts with the discount rate (WACC) and terminal growth, holding your 2.0%/yr FCF growth and 10-year horizon fixed. Green = above today's $97.29; red = below. Your current case is outlined.
