Frequently Asked Questions

Is FIZZ stock undervalued or overvalued?
🟡 FAIRLY VALUED

FIZZ trades at $33.35, within 10% of our $34.33 intrinsic value estimate. At 10.0% WACC and 8.0% FCF growth, the market is pricing in assumptions roughly aligned with the 5-year historical CAGR. The valuation range spans $25.23 (bear) to $46.50 (bull).

What is FIZZ's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $170M, projected at 8.0% 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 $-122M net debt and dividing by 0.09B shares: Bear $25.23 | Base $34.33 | Bull $46.50. Current price $33.35 implies +7% to base case.

How is FIZZ's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 8.0% 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 ($3.09B).

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: 18.2x.
