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

Here we compare the current
share
price of

Below are the data sources, inputs and calculation used to determine the intrinsic value for Fingerprint Cards.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for OM:FING B using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Fingerprint Cards 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.

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.
