TGM's two-stage DCF values AutoZone, Inc. (AZO) between $1,749.06 and $3,907.49 depending on assumptions, with a base case of $2,579.64. 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 (7.5%) reflects its beta.
What would today's price require?
$2,990.27 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +10.0% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 7.5% required return — faster than the company has actually grown.
