MU's figures are from its SEC filings; the price is the last close. The estimate is yours: it is not a price target, and it is not advice.
How this DCF works
- Free cash flow: operating cash flow less capital spending and the stock paid to staff (which dilutes every other shareholder): $25.0B over the last twelve months, after $1.2B of stock pay.
- Ten years of growth: one rate for years 1 to 5 and another for 6 to 10, then a steady rate forever.
- Discounting: each year's cash is worth less today at the discount rate. The starting rate is the 10-year Treasury yield (5.2%) plus 5 points.
- To value per share: add cash and short-term investments ($26.0B) and divide by the shares outstanding. Debt is not taken off again: free cash flow is already after the interest on it.
- What the price assumes: the growth at which this model gives back today's price. The MU report scores it against the free cash flow growth the company has delivered, slowed halfway toward the economy's growth, because ten more years at a past pace is rare.
