DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) stock valuation estimates a company's intrinsic value by discounting projected future free cash flows back to their present value. For WM, you input expected growth rates and a discount rate (WACC), and the model calculates what the stock should be worth today based on its future cash generation.
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) is the discount rate used in WM stock valuation. A higher WACC lowers the intrinsic value estimate, while a lower WACC raises it. Use MiniValuator's sensitivity heatmap to see how different WACC assumptions impact the WM DCF valuation result.
