Frequently Asked Questions

Is CACI stock undervalued or overvalued?
🔴 OVERVALUED

CACI trades at $604.57 vs. our DCF-derived intrinsic value of $317.27, implying -43% downside. Using a 10.0% WACC and 12.1% FCF growth assumption, the current price requires growth rates above our estimates to be justified. Even our bull case ($509.88) suggests limited upside.

What is CACI's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $481M, projected at 12.1% 5Y CAGR (best of revenue, EPS, or FCF growth), discounted at 10.0% WACC, with 3.0% terminal growth. Terminal value calculated via Gordon Growth Model: TV = FCF₅ × (1+g) / (WACC−g). After deducting $3.23B net debt and dividing by 0.02B shares: Bear $178.36 | Base $317.27 | Bull $509.88. Current price $604.57 implies -43% to base case.

How is CACI's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 12.1% growth derived from 5-year historical CAGR (best of revenue, EPS, or FCF growth, with 8% floor and 25% cap).

② Calculate terminal value at year 5 using perpetuity growth model with g=3.0%.

③ Discount all cash flows to PV using WACC=10.0%.

④ Sum PV of explicit period + PV of terminal value = Enterprise Value ($10.33B).

⑤ Subtract net debt, divide by shares outstanding.

Sensitivity analysis available above—adjust WACC ±2% or growth ±3% to stress-test the valuation. Implied EV/FCF multiple: 21.5x.
