available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale
at half price, they could be considered
undervalued.

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for LSE:IHG using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for InterContinental Hotels Group 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.

Health
How is InterContinental Hotels Group's financial health and their level of debt?
A company's financial position is much like your own financial position,
it includes everything you own
(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up InterContinental Hotels Group's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- InterContinental Hotels Group is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- InterContinental Hotels Group's long term commitments exceed its cash and other short term assets.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- Low level of unsold assets.
- InterContinental Hotels Group has negative shareholder equity (liabilities exceed assets) therefore debt is not covered by short term assets.
Historical Debt
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.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
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.
