Intrinsic value (DCF FCF) no growth Intrinsic equity value based on discounted cash flow (unlevered DCF) analysis, which uses no growth future free cash flow projections and discounts them to arrive at a present firm value. To be used as anchor point for valuation. Present firm value = Free Cash Flow to the Firm ÷ WACCNet debtNon-Controlling InterestPreferred stock

Rate of Return (Buffett) The return an investment is expected to generate, calculated as the discount rate that makes the Intrinsic Value (Buffett) equal to the stock Price. discount rate for which Price = IntrinsicValue(discount rate)
Earnings Power Value A valuation technique popularised by Bruce Greenwald, using a very basic equation which assumes no growth, although it does rely on an assumption about the cost of capital as well as the fact that current earnings are sustainable. Normalised Operating Income ÷ WACC

Intrinsic Value (Lynch) The value of a security which is fair (intrinsic) to or contained in the security itself, based on Peter Lynch's famous rule of thumb: He is willing to buy a growth company at a P/E multiple that is equal to its growth rate. EBITDA.rCAGR × Earnings Per Share
Adjusted Intrinsic Value (Lynch) Intrinsic value (Lynch), adjusted for low interest rates. fairPEG(EBITDA.rCAGR) × EBITDA.rCAGR × Earnings Per Share

Intrinsic value (Graham formula) The value of a security which is intrinsic to or contained in the security itself, calculated using Graham's formula. Earnings Per Share × (7 + 100 × ln(Earnings Per Share.15y rCAGR 67% + 1) × 4.4 / 20 year A corporate rate,
where Earnings Per Share.15y rCAGR 67% capped to 15%.
Intrinsic Value (O'Malley formula) Intrinsic Value according the formula proposed by Conor O'Malley, a user of Uncle Stock, as a variant of Grahams's formula. Predictive Owner Earnings × (15 + 10 × Owner Earnings.15y rCAGR 67%) × 4.4 / 20 year A corporate rate.
Graham number The Graham number measures a stock's so-called fair value. sqrt(22.5 × Earnings Per Share × Common Tangible Book Value)
Intrinsic Value (Value Driver Formula) Intrinsic Value according McKinsey's Value Driver Formula, which considers value as the result of the interplay between cash-generation, reinvesting, and growing the business. (Cash-NOPAT × (1 + growth) × (1 − growth ÷ Cash Return on Invested Capital (CROIC).5y avg)) ÷ (WACCgrowth)

where g1 = min(0.8 × WACC, Cash Return on Invested Capital (CROIC).5y avg × Reinvestment rate'.b/on 5y)
and growth is derived from g1:
  • g1 < -3% → exclude (no intrinsic value calculated)
  • g1 between -3% and 0% → growth = 0%
  • g1 between 0% and 5% → growth = g1
  • g1 > 5% → growth = max(5%, avg(g1, 4%))
