Terminal Value

Terminal value represents the present value of all future cash flows beyond the explicit forecast period in a DCF model. It captures the ongoing value of a business assumed to continue operating indefinitely.

Formule

TV (Perpetuity Growth) = FCFₙ × (1 + g) / (WACC - g) TV (Exit Multiple) = FCFₙ × EV/FCF Multiple

Exemple

If the final year FCF is $20M, the perpetuity growth rate is 2.5%, and WACC is 10%, the terminal value = $20M × 1.025 / (0.10 - 0.025) = $273.3M.

Pourquoi C'est Important

Terminal value typically accounts for 60-80% of total DCF value, making it the most influential component. Choosing between perpetuity growth and exit multiple methods can lead to significantly different stock valuations.
