Frequently Asked Questions

Is TKR stock undervalued or overvalued?
🔴 OVERVALUED

TKR trades at $93.73 vs. our DCF-derived intrinsic value of $52.94, implying -42% downside. Using a 10.0% WACC and 8.0% FCF growth assumption, the current price requires growth rates above our estimates to be justified. Even our bull case ($81.85) suggests limited upside.

What is TKR's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $306M, projected at 8.0% 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 $1.81B net debt and dividing by 0.07B shares: Bear $31.32 | Base $52.94 | Bull $81.85. Current price $93.73 implies -42% to base case.

How is TKR's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 8.0% 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 ($5.55B).

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: 18.2x.
