Part 1 of the following table sets forth the analyst's assumptions for specific operating variables. These values are then used, in Part 2, to project free cash flows from 2020 out to the "horizon year," after which it is assumed that the 2024 FCF will grow at the constant rate gLR. The PV of the FCFs during the nonconstant growth period are then discounted at the WACC. Finally, in Part 3, we find the sum of the nonconstant FCF PVs, then use the constant growth model to find the value of the firm at the horizon year, add these two components to find the value of the firm today, subtract the market value of the debt and preferred stock to find the value of the equity, and then divide by shares outstanding to find the estimated intrinsic value per share today.
