Transparent DCF models put Vulcan Materials Company (VMC)'s fair value in a range of $62.99 – $236.57 — 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 $279.00 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.
