Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for DB:CDS using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model

The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Cadence Design Systems 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.

Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t bad, however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest on its debts this may have impacts in the future.

If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
