• Calculate the intrinsic value of Disney by conducting a two-stage dcf company-level valuation analysis,
• Compare your results to the current market capitalization of the company and
• Perform a sensitivity analysis. the requirements of the task are as follows: 1.calculate the intrinsic value of your company: you will use the two-stage company-level discounted cash flow (dcf) valuation model to calculate the intrinsic value of your chosen company. A. calculates the free cash flow based on most recent fiscal year data:
?Estimate the free cash flows (fcf) available to the firm. to do this you can use the below formula: fcf = cash flow from operations – capital expenditures + interest * (1 – tax rate)
?the “cash flow from operations” and “capital expenditures” can be found on the statement of cash flows in yahoo! Finance.
? The interest expense (if any exists) is on the income statement.
? The tax rate can be calculated based on the tax expense and net income (as was performed in the first course project).
? For additional details on these calculations please refer to this external resource. a. specify the WACC
? For the discount value you should use the weighted average cost of capital (WACC ). You can either use the value you calculated from the prior course project task or you can use the value generated by the website www.thatsWACC .com. b. conduct a two-stage valuation
? You can now combine the two items above to estimate a present value of the firm. You should calculate a high-growth phase value and a terminal value.1.high growth phase value: for this phase, assume that in years 1 – 3 the free cash flows are growing by 8% annually. 2. Terminal value: for this phase assumes the fcf grow at a constant growth rate of 2.5%.
? calculate the present values of the above phases and add them together for the total present value of the company. 2. Comparison to current market capitalization: a.on the key statistics page in yahoo! Finance identifies and indicates the market capitalization (“market cap”). What does this value represent? b. compare the market cap to your calculated value.
? To compare the market cap from yahoo! Finance to the firm value you calculated in the previous section above you need to first subtract the value of the debt from your firm value calculation.
? How does your intrinsic value (less debt) compare to the market cap of the company on yahoo! finance?
? What might account for any differences between these two values? 3. conduct a sensitivity analysis: a. vary the following inputs to the two-tier valuation model and indicate the new valuation amount and the percentage change from the above “base” case.
? free cash flows 1.increase the fcf by 10% 2.decrease the fcf by 10%
? Terminal growth rate 1.increase the terminal growth rate from 2.5% to 3.5% 2.decrease the terminal growth rate from 2.5% to 1.5%
? wacc 1.add 2% to the WACC (that is if the WACC is 7.5% make it 9.5%) 2.subtract 2% from the WACC (that is if the WACC is 7.5% make it 5.5%) b. observations
? State your observations from the sensitivity analysis. how important (conceptually) is the terminal growth rate to overall value? how important is the WACC to overall value?
