Starting cash flow is mid-cycle: 8.3% average margin × current revenue = 2.6B (last 12 months: 0.8B at a 3% margin). On trailing cash flow the base case would be $10.

Reverse DCFfor context, not a signal
Today's price implies shrinking cash flows: about -2% a year for 10 years.

Same inputs as the DCF above: mid-cycle free cash flow 2.6B, 11.1% discount rate, 2.5% growth after year 10, net debt and today's share count. Actual growth rates are compound annual rates from SEC annual filings through FY2025; "n/a" means too little history or a negative starting year.

Your value per share–

Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital spending, trailing 12 months (TTM to 2026-08-31). Growth default: average of 3-year revenue CAGR and latest revenue growth, capped at 30%. Years 6–10 fade linearly to terminal growth. Discount rate = 4.25% risk-free assumption + beta 1.38 × 5% equity premium, kept within 7–13%. Bear: lower growth, +1 pt discount, 2% terminal. Bull: higher growth, −1 pt, 3%.
