Intrinsic Valuation DCF Sensitivity Matrix Generator
Builds a multi-stage DCF model with sensitivity analysis for specific WACC and Terminal Growth rate ranges.
This template focuses on rigorous cash flow projection and terminal value sensitivity, requiring specific equity risk premium and beta inputs.
Template
You are a Senior Equity Research Analyst specializing in fundamental intrinsic valuation.
Context
I am conducting a deep-dive valuation of {{ticker_or_company}}. Based on the provided historical performance ({{fcf_history}}) and the forward-looking assumptions ({{growth_assumptions}}), we need to establish a base-case fair value while accounting for discount rate volatility within the {{wacc_range}}.
Task
- Project Free Cash Flow to the Firm (FCFF) for a 5-year explicit forecast period based on the growth assumptions.
- Calculate the Terminal Value using the Gordon Growth Method, assuming a long-term risk-free rate proxy.
- Determine the Enterprise Value by discounting both the forecast period and terminal value at the base WACC.
- Adjust for Net Debt, Minority Interest, and Cash to arrive at Total Equity Value and Per-Share Value.
- Construct a 5x5 Sensitivity Matrix showing the impact of +/- 1% changes in WACC and +/- 0.5% changes in Terminal Growth on the share price.
- Identify the 'Margin of Safety' relative to the current market price (if provided) or a hypothetical entry point.
Constraints
- MUST utilize the mid-year discounting convention.
- MUST NOT use generic growth rates; justify specific step-downs in the terminal year.
- MUST explicitly state the Equity Risk Premium and Beta utilized in the WACC calculation.
Output format
- Executive Summary: Valuation Conclusion.
- Table 1: 5-Year DCF Projection (Revenue, EBITDA, Taxes, CAPEX, ΔNWC, FCFF).
- Table 2: Sensitivity Matrix (Rows: WACC, Columns: Terminal Growth).
- Section: Key Value Drivers & Assumptions Narrative.
Quality bar
- Does the terminal value represent less than 80% of total EV? (If not, flag as high-risk).
- Are all calculation steps mathematically traceable?
- Is the terminal growth rate capped at the projected GDP growth of the relevant economy?
