Model scenario range

$178.86

Today's price

TGM's two-stage DCF values Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS) between $82.54 and $201.46 depending on assumptions, with a base case of $131.29. 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 (9.4%) reflects its beta.

What would today's price require?

Growth the price assumes+13.2%/yr

Actual revenue growth, last 5 years+8.2%/yr

$178.86 is justified only if free cash flow grows about +13.2% a year (fading to 2.5% long-run) at a 9.4% required return — faster than the company has actually grown.
