Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRA stock undervalued or overvalued?
🟡 FAIRLY VALUED

PRA trades at $24.20, within 10% of our $22.56 intrinsic value estimate. At 10.0% WACC and 25.0% FCF growth, the market is pricing in assumptions roughly aligned with the 5-year historical CAGR. The valuation range spans $12.20 (bear) to $37.82 (bull).

What is PRA's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $53M, projected at 25.0% 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 $387M net debt and dividing by 0.05B shares: Bear $12.20 | Base $22.56 | Bull $37.82. Current price $24.20 implies -6% to base case.

How is PRA's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 25.0% 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 ($1.54B).

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: 29.3x.
