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
Peabody Energy
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 Peabody Energy.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |
| Levered Free Cash Flow | Average of 7 Analyst Estimates (S&P Global) | See below |
| Discount Rate (Cost of Equity) | See below | 9.6% |
| 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% |
| Oil and Gas Unlevered Beta | Simply Wall St/ S&P Global | 0.92 |
| Re-levered Beta | = Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity))
= 0.92 (1 + (1- 21%) (43.61%)) |
1.159 |
| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |
1.16 |
| Discount Rate/ Cost of Equity |
= Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + (Levered Beta * Equity Risk Premium)
= 2.73% + (1.159 * 5.96%) |
9.64% |
Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for NYSE:BTU using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for Peabody Energy 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.

- Peabody Energy used its assets more efficiently than the US Oil and Gas industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
- Peabody Energy has become profitable over the past 3 years. This is considered to be a significant improvement in its use of capital (Return on Capital Employed).

- Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Oil and Gas 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)

The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Peabody Energy is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- Peabody Energy's long term commitments exceed its cash and other short term assets.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.
- Debt is covered by short term assets, assets are 1.4x 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.
