Wintrust Financial Corporation (WTFC) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $151.56 the price implies 40.2% 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, 11.0% over the last five. The price asks for about three times its ten-year rate. Return on equity averaged 10.6% over ten years; the price implies 11.6% for good.

In December 2017 the price assumed 29.1% a year; Wintrust Financial Corporation went on to grow the dividend a share 12.0% 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 40.2% 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 Wintrust Financial Corporation’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 0.86 × equity premium 4.5% = 8.2% cost of equity; weighted, 8.2%.

WTFC trades at 6.50× P/FCF, against a 10-year average of 10.69× (range 3.75×–21.91×). That is cheaper than 78% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $249.14 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.
