Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for SEHK:1478 using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model

The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Q Technology (Group) is arrived at by discounting future cash flows to their present value using the 2 stage method.

The 2nd stage assumes the company grows at a stable rate into perpetuity.

Q Technology (Group) used its assets less efficiently than the HK Consumer Durables industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
