SPWR Value
Is SunPower undervalued based on future cash flows and its price relative to the stock market?
Value is all about what a company is worth versus what price it is
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
SunPower
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 SunPower.
| Data Point | Source | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Valuation Model | 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity | |
| Levered Free Cash Flow | Average of 10 Analyst Estimates (S&P Global) | See below |
| Discount Rate (Cost of Equity) | See below | 12.3% |
| 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% |
| Semiconductor Unlevered Beta | Simply Wall St/ S&P Global | 1.27 |
| Re-levered Beta | = Unlevered beta (1 + (1- tax rate) (Debt/Equity))
= 1.272 (1 + (1- 21%) (62.01%)) |
1.599 |
| Levered Beta | Levered Beta limited to 0.8 to 2.0 (practical range for a stable firm) |
1.6 |
| Discount Rate/ Cost of Equity |
= Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + (Levered Beta * Equity Risk Premium)
= 2.73% + (1.599 * 5.96%) |
12.26% |
Discounted Cash Flow Calculation for NasdaqGS:SPWR using 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Model
The calculations below outline how an intrinsic value for SunPower 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.

PRICE RELATIVE TO MARKET
We can also value a company based on what the stock market is willing to pay for
it. This is similar to the price of fruit (e.g. Mangoes or Avocados) increasing
when they are out of season, or how much your home is worth.The amount the stock market is willing to pay for SunPower's earnings, growth and assets is considered below, and whether this is a fair price.

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.
- It is difficult to establish if SunPower has efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity greater than 20%) due to its liabilities exceeding its assets.
- It is difficult to establish if SunPower has efficiently used its assets last year compared to the US Semiconductor industry average (Return on Assets) as it is loss-making.
- It is difficult to establish if SunPower improved its use of capital last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed) as it is currently loss-making.
Past performance checks
We assess SunPower'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 Semiconductor 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)
SunPower has a total score of 0/6, see the detailed checks below.
Note: We use GAAP Net Income excluding extraordinary items in all our calculations.

SPWR Health
How is SunPower'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 SunPower's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- SunPower is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- SunPower's cash and other short term assets cover its long term commitments.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.
- SunPower has negative shareholder equity (liabilities exceed assets) therefore debt is not covered by short term assets.
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.
