available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale
at half price, they could be considered
undervalued.
INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS
Here we compare the current
share
price of
Johnson Matthey
to its discounted cash flow analysis.value.The discounted cash flow value is simply looking at what the company is worth today, based on estimates of how much money it is expected to make in the future.
Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for Johnson Matthey.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |
| Levered Free Cash Flow | Average of 15 Analyst Estimates (S&P Global) | See below |
| Discount Rate (Cost of Equity) | See below | 8.4% |
| Perpetual Growth Rate | 10-Year GB Government Bond Rate | 1.2% |
An important part of a discounted cash flow is the discount rate, below we explain how it has been calculated.
| Data Point | Calculation/ Source | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-Free Rate | 10-Year GB Govt Bond Rate | 1.2% |
| Equity Risk Premium | S&P Global | 6.7% |

| Re-levered Beta | = Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity))
= 0.974 (1 + (1- 19%) (19.16%)) |

| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for LSE:JMAT using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Johnson Matthey 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.
