Frequently Asked Questions

Is PNR stock undervalued or overvalued?
🟡 FAIRLY VALUED

PNR trades at $106.97, within 10% of our $105.26 intrinsic value estimate. At 10.0% WACC and 18.6% FCF growth, the market is pricing in assumptions roughly aligned with the 5-year historical CAGR. The valuation range spans $66.44 (bear) to $161.88 (bull).

What is PNR's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $692M, projected at 18.6% 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 $1.65B net debt and dividing by 0.17B shares: Bear $66.44 | Base $105.26 | Bull $161.88. Current price $106.97 implies +1% to base case.

How is PNR's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 18.6% 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 ($19.24B).

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: 27.8x.
