Priced in
How much growth the market assumed at the 52-week high, the low and today (a reverse DCF).
At the high ($44.91, Oct 22) the price assumed about 7%/yr free-cash-flow growth; at the low ($26.65, Nov 11) about 1%; today about 6%. The last 3 years delivered 20%/yr (free cash flow).
Dashed line: what the last 3 years delivered, 20%/yr (free cash flow)
| High | Low | Now | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $44.91Oct 22 | $26.65Nov 11 | $44.03 |
| Implied growth | +7% | +1% | +6% |
| P/E | 19.8× | 15.3× | 19.4× |
| P/FCF | 19.7× | 14.5× | 19.3× |
What this means: the higher the implied growth, the more the price already counts on. If today's number sits well below what the business has delivered, the market expects less than its track record.
How it’s computed
Reverse DCF: the same 10-year free-cash-flow model as our fair value estimate (9.5% discount rate, growth for years 1–5 fading to 3% by year 10, 3% after), solved for the growth that makes it equal the market value at each price. For the high and the low we use only the filings that were public on that day, so nothing from a later report leaks back. Market value = that close × diluted shares. P/E = market value / 12-month net income; Price / FCF = market value / 12-month free cash flow; EV / Sales = (market value + debt − cash) / 12-month revenue. Hidden when the share count moved over 20% (split, merger), free cash flow is negative, or the company reports in another currency.
Valuation
What we estimate it's worth, and how it ranks on value vs every stock we cover.
Fair value estimate
How the range is computed
Ten-year free-cash-flow DCF. Same 10-year free-cash-flow model as the base: discount rate 9.5% ±1 point and growth 5.8% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 3.8%; bull = 8.5% and 7.8% (both fade to 3%). A model estimate from public filings, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Price sits inside the range.
What the price implies To be worth today’s price, GIC’s free cash flow would need to grow about 6% a year for five years; our estimate uses 6%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much GIC moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Moves much less than the market, but its own price swings are 2.0× the S&P 500’s (it moves on its own news).
