Lamb Weston (LW) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $53.61 the price implies free cash flow after share-based pay growing 10.8% a year for ten years.

Free cash flow after share-based pay grew 6.3% a year over the last ten years, 9.9% over the last five. The price asks for about twice its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 4.2%.

In May 2017 the price assumed 19.6% a year; Lamb Weston went on to grow free cash flow after share-based pay 14.3% a year to FY2026.

Price implies: 10.8%
Last 5 years, reported: 9.9%
Last 10 years, reported: 6.3%
Industry median implies: 4.2%

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ free cash flow after share-based pay 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).

The other way round · DCF

The price needs: 10.8% a year for ten years; $53.61; today’s price
Its base case: 6.3% a year for five years, then 3.8%; $25.57; 52.3% below today’s price

Both are growth in free cash flow after share-based pay, discounted at 9.0%, with 2.5% a year after year ten.

1 · Cash flow to equity

Subtract share-based pay ($0.05 billion)

Growth, yrs 1–5 (%)

Growth, yrs 6–10 (%)

Yearly growth in cash flow. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies free cash flow after share-based pay growing 10.8% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity (%)

Terminal growth (%)

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%.

LW trades at 17.72× P/FCF, against a 10-year average of 95.79× (range 10.58×–625.23×). That is cheaper than 89% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $289.74 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.
