DCF Valuation•Discounted Cash Flow intrinsic value with Bear, Base & Bull scenarios
Moderate range: intrinsic value is sensitive to your growth and margin assumptions.
The current valuation implies investors expect significantly stronger future growth or wider margins than assumed in the DCF Model upside scenario.
Confidence reflects data quality and how far into the future most of the value sits. The main factors reducing it here are limited data coverage on some inputs.
Moderate range: intrinsic value is sensitive to your growth and margin assumptions.
Analyze the Bear, Base, and Bull case DCF scenarios. Compare how changes in revenue growth, operating margins, and wacc impact the final intrinsic value estimate and downside risk.
Why the values can still move a lot: DCF math is nonlinear, so even modest changes to growth, margins, discount rate, and terminal assumptions can swing present value sharply.

Same DCF model applied to every company. If INOD's gap to fair value stands apart from peers, the case is stock-specific — not a sector-wide trend.

Answers to common questions about INOD's valuation and our methodology.
The base-case intrinsic value for INOD is estimated at $10.78. This is calculated using a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model that projects future cash flows and discounts them to today's present value.
Based on our DCF valuation, Innodata Inc. appears overvalued. The stock is currently trading at $90.68, compared to our fair value estimate of $10.78.
Under our base-case scenario, INOD has an implied 89% downside risk. In our bull-case scenario, the intrinsic value could be significantly higher if growth and margins exceed baseline expectations.
We apply a discount rate (WACC) of 18.0% to calculate the present value of INOD's future cash flows. This rate reflects the perceived risk and cost of capital for the business.
The model assumes a consensus-driven baseline growth rate for the next 5 years, which gradually tapers down to a terminal growth rate of 3.0%. The exact rates flex depending on whether you are viewing the bear, base, or bull scenario.
This valuation projects future free cash flow (FCFF) and discounts them back to present value using a WACC. For enterprise models, we then adjust for net debt and divide by diluted shares to calculate the final equity value per share.
