Starting cash flow is mid-cycle: 8.9% average margin × current revenue = 11.8B (last 12 months: 59.0B at a 44% margin). On trailing cash flow the base case would be $2,059.

Your value per share–

Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital spending, trailing 12 months (FY to 2026-09-03). 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 2.23 × 5% equity premium, kept within 7–13%. Bear: lower growth, +1 pt discount, 2% terminal. Bull: higher growth, −1 pt, 3%.
