Estimating The Fair Value Of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE)
Estimating The Fair Value Of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE)
Does the September share price for FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE) reflect what it's really worth? Today, we will estimate the stock's intrinsic value by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to today's value. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is the tool we will apply to do this. Don't get put off by the jargon, the math behind it is actually quite straightforward.
Companies can be valued in a lot of ways, so we would point out that a DCF is not perfect for every situation. Anyone interested in learning a bit more about intrinsic value should have a read of the Simply Wall St analysis model.
See our latest analysis for FirstEnergy
Step By Step Through The Calculation
We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. To begin with, we have to get estimates of the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.
A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today's dollars:
10-year free cash flow (FCF) estimate
2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 | |
Levered FCF ($, Millions) | -US$216.5m | US$234.0m | US$382.0m | US$514.0m | US$614.6m | US$702.3m | US$776.6m | US$838.7m | US$890.4m | US$934.1m |
Growth Rate Estimate Source | Analyst x2 | Analyst x1 | Analyst x1 | Analyst x1 | Est @ 19.57% | Est @ 14.28% | Est @ 10.58% | Est @ 7.99% | Est @ 6.17% | Est @ 4.9% |
Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 5.3% | -US$206 | US$211 | US$327 | US$418 | US$474 | US$514 | US$540 | US$553 | US$558 | US$556 |
("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$3.9b
After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 1.9%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 5.3%.
Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2032 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$934m× (1 + 1.9%) ÷ (5.3%– 1.9%) = US$28b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$28b÷ ( 1 + 5.3%)10= US$17b
The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is US$21b. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of US$38.7, the company appears around fair value at the time of writing. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out.
NYSE:FE Discounted Cash Flow September 29th 2022The Assumptions
Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. If you don't agree with these result, have a go at the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at FirstEnergy as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 5.3%, which is based on a levered beta of 0.800. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.
Next Steps:
Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it is only one of many factors that you need to assess for a company. It's not possible to obtain a foolproof valuation with a DCF model. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. For example, changes in the company's cost of equity or the risk free rate can significantly impact the valuation. For FirstEnergy, there are three further factors you should explore:
- Risks: We feel that you should assess the 3 warning signs for FirstEnergy (1 is potentially serious!) we've flagged before making an investment in the company.

FirstEnergy Corp.(纽约证券交易所代码:Fe)9月份的股价反映了它的真实价值吗?今天,我们将通过提取预期的未来现金流并将其贴现到今天的价值来估计股票的内在价值。贴现现金流(DCF)模型是我们将应用的工具。不要被行话吓跑了,它背后的数学实际上是相当简单的。
对公司的估值可以有很多种方式,因此我们要指出,贴现现金流并不适用于每一种情况。任何有兴趣了解更多内在价值的人,都应该阅读一下Simply Wall St.的分析模型。

一步一步地计算
我们使用所谓的两阶段模型,也就是说,公司的现金流有两个不同的增长率。一般来说,第一阶段是较高增长阶段,第二阶段是较低增长阶段。首先,我们必须对未来十年的现金流进行估计。在可能的情况下,我们使用分析师的估计,但当这些估计不可用时,我们会根据上次估计或报告的价值推断先前的自由现金流(FCF)。我们假设,自由现金流萎缩的公司将减缓收缩速度,而自由现金流增长的公司在这段时间内的增长速度将放缓。我们这样做是为了反映出,增长在最初几年往往比后来几年放缓得更多。
贴现现金流就是这样一种想法,即未来的一美元不如现在的一美元,所以我们将这些未来现金流的价值贴现到以今天的美元计算的估计价值:
10年自由现金流(FCF)估计
2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 | 2032 | |
杠杆式FCF(百万美元) | --2.165亿美元 | 2.34亿美元 | 3.82亿美元 | 5.14亿美元 | 6.146亿美元 | 7.023亿美元 | 7.766亿美元 | 8.387亿美元 | 8.904亿美元 | 9.341亿美元 |
增长率预估来源 | 分析师x2 | 分析师x1 | 分析师x1 | 分析师x1 | Est@19.57% | Est@14.28% | Est@10.58% | Est@7.99% | Est@6.17% | Est@4.9% |
现值(美元,百万)贴现@5.3% | --206美元 | 211美元 | 327美元 | 418美元 | 474美元 | 514美元 | 540美元 | 553美元 | 558美元 | 556美元 |
(“EST”=Simply Wall St.预估的FCF成长率)
10年期现金流现值(PVCF)=39亿美元
在计算了最初10年内未来现金流的现值后,我们需要计算终止值,它考虑了第一阶段之后的所有未来现金流。戈登增长公式用于计算终端价值,其未来年增长率等于10年期政府债券收益率1.9%的5年平均水平。我们以5.3%的权益成本将终端现金流贴现到今天的价值。
终端值(TV)=FCF2032×(1+g)?(r-g)=9.34亿美元×(1+1.9%)?(5.3%-1.9%)=280亿美元
终值现值(PVTV)=TV/(1+r)10=280亿美元?(1+5.3%)10=170亿美元
总价值是未来十年的现金流总和加上贴现的终端价值,这导致了总股本价值,在这种情况下是210亿美元。在最后一步,我们用股本价值除以流通股的数量。相对于目前38.7美元的股价,该公司在撰写本文时似乎接近公允价值。不过,请记住,这只是一个大致的估值,就像任何复杂的公式一样--垃圾输入,垃圾输出。
纽约证券交易所:Fe贴现现金流2022年9月29日假设
现在,贴现现金流最重要的投入是贴现率,当然还有实际现金流。如果你不同意这些结果,你可以自己试一试计算,并玩弄一下假设。DCF也没有考虑一个行业可能的周期性,也没有考虑一家公司未来的资本要求,因此它没有给出一家公司潜在业绩的全貌。鉴于我们将FirstEnergy视为潜在股东,股权成本被用作贴现率,而不是占债务的资本成本(或加权平均资本成本,WACC)。在这个计算中,我们使用了5.3%,这是基于杠杆率为0.800的测试版。贝塔系数是衡量一只股票相对于整个市场的波动性的指标。我们的贝塔系数来自全球可比公司的行业平均贝塔系数,强制限制在0.8到2.0之间,这是一个稳定业务的合理范围。
接下来的步骤:
就构建你的投资论点而言,估值只是硬币的一面,它只是你需要为一家公司评估的众多因素之一。用贴现现金流模型不可能获得万无一失的估值。相反,贴现现金流模型的最佳用途是测试某些假设和理论,看看它们是否会导致公司被低估或高估。例如,公司权益成本或无风险利率的变化可能会对估值产生重大影响。对于FirstEnergy,还有三个因素值得你去探索:
- 风险:我们认为您应该评估FirstEnergy的3个警告信号(%1可能很严重!)在投资这家公司之前,我们已经做了标记。
