CNA Financial Corporation (CNA) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $48.01 the price implies −0.9% a year of dividend growth, at a 9.0% cost of equity.

The dividend a share grew 2.5% a year over the last ten years, 2.0% over the last five. The price asks for 3.4 points a year less than its ten-year rate. Return on equity averaged 8.5% over ten years; the price implies 10.8% for good.

In December 2017 the price assumed 3.8% a year; CNA Financial Corporation went on to grow the dividend a share 9.7% 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 −0.9% 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

Against CNA Financial Corporation’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 0.20 × equity premium 4.5% = 5.2% cost of equity; weighted, 5.2%.

CNA trades at 5.82× P/FCF, against a 10-year average of 7.25× (range 4.70×–12.34×). That is cheaper than 56% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $59.83 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.
