TGM's two-stage DCF values General Dynamics Corporation (GD) between $243.75 and $495.94 depending on assumptions, with a base case of $340.80. 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 (7.5%) reflects its beta.
What would today's price require?
$383.42 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +11.6% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 7.5% required return — faster than the company has actually grown.
| Scenario | FCF growth (fading to 2.5%) | Discount | Value / share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 5.9%/yr | 8.5% | $243.75 |
| Base case | 8.9%/yr | 7.5% | $340.80 |
| Optimistic | 11.9%/yr | 6.5% | $495.94 |
