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
Paradox Interactive
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 Paradox Interactive.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |
| Levered Free Cash Flow | Average of 2 Analyst Estimates (S&P Global) | See below |

| Perpetual Growth Rate | 10-Year SE Government Bond Rate | 0.4% |
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 SE Govt Bond Rate | 0.4% |
| Equity Risk Premium | S&P Global | 6% |
| Entertainment Unlevered Beta | Simply Wall St/ S&P Global | 0.95 |
| Re-levered Beta | = Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity))
= 0.949 (1 + (1- 22%) (0.26%)) |
0.967 |
| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |
0.97 |
| Discount Rate/ Cost of Equity |
= Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + (Levered Beta * Equity Risk Premium)

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for OM:PDX using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Paradox Interactive 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.

it includes everything you own
(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Paradox Interactive's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Paradox Interactive is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- Paradox Interactive's cash and other short term assets cover its long term commitments.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- Low level of unsold assets.
- Debt is covered by short term assets, assets are 12.7x debt.
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.
