U.S. Bancorp (USB) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $60.05 the price implies 29.2% a year of dividend growth, at a 9.0% cost of equity.

The dividend a share grew 7.3% a year over the last ten years, 3.8% over the last five. The price asks for about four times its ten-year rate. Return on equity averaged 12.9% over ten years; the price implies 11.6% for good.

In December 2017 the price assumed 17.2% a year; U.S. Bancorp went on to grow the dividend a share 2.6% 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 29.2% 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 U.S. Bancorp’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 1.03 × equity premium 4.5% = 8.9% cost of equity; weighted, 8.9%.

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.
