What Growth Is Priced In

Implied revenue growth (10Y)

6.6%

incredible deal

The annual FCF growth rate today's price requires over a 10-year horizon (discount rate 10%, terminal growth 2.5%).

Buyback tailwind: -4.8% — per-share value needs a total required return of 1.7% once share-count change is priced in.
