Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (CFG) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $64.02 the price implies 12.9% a year of dividend growth, at a 9.0% cost of equity.

The dividend a share grew 15.8% a year over the last ten years, 1.9% over the last five. The price asks for close to its ten-year rate. Return on equity averaged 7.5% over ten years; the price implies 9.5% for good.

In December 2017 the price assumed 22.9% a year; Citizens Financial Group, Inc. went on to grow the dividend a share 4.1% a year to FY2025.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ the dividend a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

Its assumptions

Powerpack lets you start from a scenario and type over any of them.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · Dividends
the four quarters to September 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in the dividend. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies the dividend a share growing 12.9% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Advanced inputs

CFG trades at 1.17× P/B, against a 10-year average of 0.90× (range 0.71×–1.17×). That is dearer than 100% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $49.25 per share.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
