Frequently Asked Questions

Is TRI stock undervalued or overvalued?
🟡 FAIRLY VALUED

TRI trades at $124.84, within 10% of our $120.95 intrinsic value estimate. At 9.5% WACC and 20.0% FCF growth, the market is pricing in assumptions roughly aligned with the 5-year historical CAGR. The valuation range spans $76.94 (bear) to $187.81 (bull).

What is TRI's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $1.76B, projected at 20.0% 5Y CAGR (best of revenue, EPS, or FCF growth), discounted at 9.5% WACC, with 3.0% terminal growth. Terminal value calculated via Gordon Growth Model: TV = FCF₅ × (1+g) / (WACC−g). After deducting $1.22B net debt and dividing by 0.45B shares: Bear $76.94 | Base $120.95 | Bull $187.81. Current price $124.84 implies -7% to base case.

How is TRI's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 20.0% 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=9.5%.

④ Sum PV of explicit period + PV of terminal value = Enterprise Value ($55.80B).

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: 31.7x.
