INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS
Here we compare the current
share
price of
Steel Dynamics
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 Steel Dynamics.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |

| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |

Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t

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.
