Market implies 31% growth for 5 years
Current price reflects execution expectations above 11% growth — not unreasonable for quality businesses.
At $70, the market prices in continued strong cash flow growth (31%) — likely reflecting buybacks, margin stability, and ecosystem strength.
Range: Bear $21 → Bull $51. Current price implies expectations above the base case, closer to bull expectations.

Bull Case

  • Bull case ($51) with 13% growth, 9% discount rate
  • Conservative 11% growth assumption is achievable based on track record

Bear Case

  • Bear case ($21) implies 71% downside at 9% growth, 12% discount
  • Price reflects 31% growth expectations vs 11% historical — high bar to clear
  • Trading 56% above base case — execution must exceed assumptions to justify

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TECH stock undervalued or overvalued?
🔴 OVERVALUED

TECH trades at $69.96 vs. our DCF-derived intrinsic value of $30.98, implying -53% downside. Using a 10.0% WACC and 10.8% FCF growth assumption, the current price requires growth rates above our estimates to be justified. Even our bull case ($44.16) suggests limited upside.

What is TECH's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $257M, projected at 10.8% 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 $282M net debt and dividing by 0.16B shares: Bear $21.37 | Base $30.98 | Bull $44.16. Current price $69.96 implies -53% to base case.

How is TECH's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 10.8% 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 ($5.23B).

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: 20.4x.
