INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS
Here we compare the current
share
price of
S&P Global
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 S&P Global.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | Excess Returns Model | |
| Stable EPS |
Weighted future Return on Equity estimates from 6 analysts.
= Stable Book Value * Return on Equity = $4.56 * 252% |
$11.50 |
| Book Value of Equity per Share | Weighted future Book Value estimates from 6 analysts. | $4.56 |
| Discount Rate (Cost of Equity) | See below | 7.7% |
| Perpetual Growth Rate | 10-Year US Government Bond Rate | 2.7% |
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 US Govt Bond Rate | 2.7% |
| Equity Risk Premium | S&P Global | 6% |
| Capital Markets Unlevered Beta | Simply Wall St/ S&P Global | 0.7 |
| Re-levered Beta | = Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity))
= 0.698 (1 + (1- 21%) (7.74%)) |
0.826 |
| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |
0.83 |
| Discount Rate/ Cost of Equity |
= Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + (Levered Beta * Equity Risk Premium)
= 2.73% + (0.826 * 5.96%) |

Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for NYSE:SPGI using Excess Returns Model Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for S&P Global is arrived at using the Excess Return Model. This approach is used for finance firms where free cash flow is difficult to estimate.
In the Excess Return Model the value of a firm can be written as the sum of capital invested currently in the firm and the present value of excess returns that the firm expects to make in the future.
The model is sensitive to the Return on Equity of the company versus the Cost of Equity, how these are calculated is detailed below the main calculation.
Note the calculations below are per share.
See our documentation to learn about this calculation.
| Calculation | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| Excess Returns |
= (Stable Return on equity – Cost of equity) (Book Value of
Equity per share)
= (252% – 7.65%) * $4.56) |
$11.15 |
| Terminal Value of Excess Returns |
= Excess Returns / (Cost of Equity -
Expected Growth Rate)
= $11.15 / (7.65% - 2.73%) |
$226.48 |
| Value of Equity |
= Book Value per share + Terminal Value of
Excess Returns
= $4.56 + $226.48 |
$231.05 |
| Calculation | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| Value per share (USD) | From above. | $231.05 |
| Current discount | Discount to share price of
$230.57
= -1 x ($230.57 - $231.05) / $231.05 |

Performance last year
We want to ensure a company is making the most of what it has available. This is
done by comparing the return (profit) to a company's available
funds,
assets
and
capital.
- Whilst S&P Global made outstanding use of shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity greater than 40%), this is metric is skewed due to its high level of debt.
- S&P Global used its assets more efficiently than the US Capital Markets industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
- S&P Global has improved its use of capital last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed).
Past performance checks
We assess S&P Global's performance over the past 5 years by checking for:- Has earnings increased in past 5 years? (1 check)
- Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Capital Markets industry? (1 check)
- Is the recent earnings growth over the last year higher than the average annual growth over the past 5 years? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Equity (ROE) higher than 20%? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Assets (ROA) above industry average? (1 check)
- Has the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) increased from 3 years ago? (1 check)
S&P Global has a total score of 3/6, see the detailed checks below.

SPGI Health
How is S&P Global'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 S&P Global's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- S&P Global is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- S&P Global's long term commitments exceed its cash and other short term assets.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- Low level of unsold assets.
- Debt is not covered by short term assets, assets are 0.9x 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.
