Fair value
DAL fair value $43.84. Price $81.45. Price is 86% above fair value.
Above fair value, around its usual premium.
Fair value is an estimate of what one share is worth if future cash flows arrive as modeled. It is not a forecast of the share price. How discounted cash flow works.
Calculated with a 10-year free-cash-flow discount. Average free cash flow, last three years 2.62B. Growth 5.74% in year 1, held for five years, then fading in a straight line to terminal growth by year 10. Year-1 growth is analyst revenue growth, or 5-year historical revenue growth when that forecast is missing, kept between 0% and 20%. Terminal growth 3.00%. Discount rate 11.65% (beta 1.3). Beta is kept between 0.8 and 2.0, which on its own would make the discount rate 8.7% to 15.3%. The rate is then capped at 12%. Years 1 to 5 grow at the year-1 rate, and years 6 to 10 fade in a straight line to terminal growth of 3%. A cap is used because a discount above 12% pushes higher-beta stocks further from the price. The discount rate stays at least 5 percentage points above terminal growth. Shares 657.91M. Net debt 16.77B. The earnings value is next-12-months earnings per share, or trailing earnings when that forecast is missing, times the stock's own 10-year median P/E, kept between 8 and 40. Fewer than five years of history uses the sector's typical P/E. Fair value is the average of the cash-flow value and the earnings value when both exist. Model uncertainty is high when fair value is more than 60% from the price, or when most of the cash-flow value sits after year 10.
