Frequently Asked Questions

Is TSCO stock undervalued or overvalued?
🔴 OVERVALUED

TSCO trades at $50.73 vs. our DCF-derived intrinsic value of $21.13, implying -58% downside. Using a 10.0% WACC and 17.0% FCF growth assumption, the current price requires growth rates above our estimates to be justified. Even our bull case ($35.67) suggests limited upside.

What is TSCO's intrinsic value?

Using a 5-year DCF model: Base FCF of $637M, projected at 17.0% 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 $5.17B net debt and dividing by 0.54B shares: Bear $11.04 | Base $21.13 | Bull $35.67. Current price $50.73 implies -58% to base case.

How is TSCO's fair value calculated?

DCF Methodology:

① Project FCF years 1-5 using 17.0% 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 ($16.58B).

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: 26.0x.
