The DCF Model Explained

The 2-stage DCF model utilized here reflects two periods of expected company growth: an initial phase of higher growth, followed by a period of slower expansion. By projecting the cash flows for the next decade and discounting them back to their present value, a comprehensive estimate of the company’s intrinsic value is formed. In absence of specific analyst predictions, historical cash flow data is extrapolated to generate future estimations.

Future Cash Flow Projection

Several projections are made for the years 2025 to 2034, presenting a detailed growth trend and estimates for each year. Each of the projected cash flows is then adjusted to today’s dollar value, considering that future money holds less value due to factors like inflation.

Assessing Terminal Value

Beyond the ten-year forecast, the Terminal Value calculates all expected future cash flows. A conservative growth rate assumes values won't exceed that of GDP growth. After this aggregate value is discounted, a clear picture emerges, placing Parkway's total equity value at AU$37 million.

Current Market Context

With shares trading near AU$0.014, Parkway's market value aligns closely with its intrinsic valuation. However, it's wise to recall that valuations can deviate over minor adjustments. Additionally, compared to its peers, Parkway trades without a notable premium, which can be seen within the broader market dynamics where peers trade at a more pronounced discount.

Considerations and Assumptions

It is important to highlight the assumptions feeding into the DCF calculations, particularly the discount rate and cash flow projections. Given the inherent volatility measured by a beta of 1.024, adjustments to these inputs can substantially shift valuation outcomes.

Beyond Valuation

While valuation serves as a critical component of investment analysis, it’s merely one aspect of a broader consideration set. Examining factors like company management activity, potential risks, and comparative market metrics is equally essential. Potential investors should also review insider actions and explore companies with solid fundamentals.
