Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for ASX:MFD using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Mayfield Childcare is arrived at by discounting future cash flows to their present value using the 2 stage method. We try to start with analysts estimates of free cash flow, however if these are not available we use the most recent financial results. In the 1st stage we continue to grow the free cash flow over a 10 year period, with the growth rate trending towards the perpetual growth rate used in the 2nd stage. The 2nd stage assumes the company grows at a stable rate into perpetuity.

Should Mayfield Childcare Limited (ASX:MFD) Be Part Of Your Dividend Portfolio?
Today we'll take a closer look at Mayfield Childcare Limited (ASX:MFD) from a dividend investor's perspective. Owning a strong business and reinvesting the dividends is widely seen as an attractive way of growing your wealth. Yet sometimes, investors buy a stock for its dividend and lose money because the share price falls by more than they earned in dividend payments. Mayfield Childcare has only been paying a dividend for a year or so, so investors might be curious about its 9.5% yield. Some simple research can reduce the risk of buying Mayfield Childcare for its dividend - read on to learn more. Click the interactive chart for our full dividend analysis ASX:MFD Historical Dividend Yield, June 6th 2019 Payout ratios Dividends are usually paid out of company earnings. If a company is paying more than it earns, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. So we need to form a view on if a company's dividend is sustainable, relative to its net profit after tax. Mayfield Childcare paid out 64% of its profit as dividends, over the trailing twelve month period. This is a fairly normal payout ratio among most businesses. It allows a higher dividend to be paid to shareholders, but does limit the capital retained in the business - which could be good or bad. We also measure dividends paid against a company's levered free cash flow, to see if enough cash was generated to cover the dividend. Mayfield Childcare paid out 69% of its cash flow as dividends last year, which is within a reasonable range for the average corporation.
