Market implies 30% growth for 5 years
Current price reflects execution expectations above 13% growth — not unreasonable for quality businesses.
At $242, the market prices in continued strong cash flow growth (30%) — likely reflecting buybacks, margin stability, and ecosystem strength.
Range: Bear $73 → Bull $201. Current price implies expectations above the base case, closer to bull expectations.

Bull Case

  • Bull case ($201) with 16% growth, 9% discount rate
  • Conservative 13% growth assumption is achievable based on track record

Bear Case

  • Bear case ($73) implies 70% downside at 11% growth, 12% discount
  • Price reflects 30% growth expectations vs 13% historical — high bar to clear
  • Trading 52% above base case — execution must exceed assumptions to justify

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NPO stock undervalued or overvalued?
🔴 OVERVALUED

NPO trades at $241.74 vs. our DCF-derived intrinsic value of $116.92, implying -48% downside. Using a 10.0% WACC and 13.3% FCF growth assumption, the current price requires growth rates above our estimates to be justified. Even our bull case ($176.69) suggests limited upside.

What is NPO's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $130M, projected at 13.3% 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 $458M net debt and dividing by 0.02B shares: Bear $74.23 | Base $116.92 | Bull $176.69. Current price $241.74 implies -48% to base case.

How is NPO's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 13.3% 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 ($2.93B).

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: 22.5x.
