Sun Communities, Inc. (SUI) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $120.91 the price implies FFO a share growing 3.4% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew 7.2% a year over the last ten years, 6.6% over the last five. The price asks for less than its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 2.8%.

In December 2017 the price assumed 9.8% a year; Sun Communities, Inc. went on to grow FFO a share 6.5% a year to FY2025.

Q3 2026’s FFO a share is the $2.27 Sun Communities, Inc. reported, in its results release.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO 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).

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

Yearly growth in FFO a share. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies FFO a share growing 3.4% 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.

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.
