In discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation techniques the value of the stock is estimated based upon present value of some measure of cash flow. Free cash flow to the firm (FCFF) is generally described as cash flows after direct costs and before any payments to capital suppliers.

---|---|---|---|---|
01 | FCFF0 | 5,009 | ||
1 | FCFF1 | 5,070 | = 5,009 × (1 + 1.21%) | 4,435 |
2 | FCFF2 | 5,261 | = 5,070 × (1 + 3.77%) | 4,026 |
3 | FCFF3 | 5,594 | = 5,261 × (1 + 6.33%) | 3,745 |
4 | FCFF4 | 6,092 | = 5,594 × (1 + 8.89%) | 3,568 |
5 | FCFF5 | 6,789 | = 6,092 × (1 + 11.45%) | 3,479 |
5 | Terminal value (TV5) | 264,978 | = 6,789 × (1 + 11.45%) ÷ (14.31% – 11.45%) | 135,779 |

Disclaimer!
Valuation is based on standard assumptions. There may exist specific factors relevant to stock value and omitted here. In such a case, the real stock value may differ significantly form the estimated. If you want to use the estimated intrinsic stock value in investment decision making process, do so at your own risk.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
Value1 | Weight | Required rate of return2 | Calculation | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Equity (fair value) | 174,823 | 0.89 | 15.66% | |
Preferred stock (fair value) | 0 | 0.00 | 0.00% | |
Borrowings (fair value) | 20,689 | 0.11 | 2.87% | = 3.95% × (1 – 27.38%) |

1 US$ in millions
Equity (fair value) = No. shares of common stock outstanding × Current share price
= 1,084,311,016 × $161.23
= $174,823,465,109.68

2 Required rate of return on equity is estimated by using CAPM. See details »
Required rate of return on debt. See details »
Required rate of return on debt is after tax.
Estimated (average) effective income tax rate
= (11.40% + 33.70% + 7.80% + 21.00% + 63.00%) ÷ 5
= 27.38%

2023 Calculations
2 Interest and other financial charges, after tax = Interest and other financial charges × (1 – EITR)
= 1,118 × (1 – 11.40%)
= 991
3 EBIT(1 – EITR)
= Net earnings (loss) attributable to the Company – Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes + Interest and other financial charges, after tax
= 9,481 – 414 + 991
= 10,058
4 RR = [EBIT(1 – EITR) – Interest expense (after tax) and dividends] ÷ EBIT(1 – EITR)
= [10,058 – 6,928] ÷ 10,058
= 0.31
5 ROIC = 100 × EBIT(1 – EITR) ÷ Total capital
= 100 × 10,058 ÷ 48,342
= 20.80%
6 g = RR × ROIC
= 0.20 × 6.15%
= 1.21%
FCFF growth rate (g) implied by single-stage model
g = 100 × (Total capital, fair value0 × WACC – FCFF0) ÷ (Total capital, fair value0 + FCFF0)
= 100 × (195,512 × 14.31% – 5,009) ÷ (195,512 + 5,009)
= 11.45%
where:
Total capital, fair value0 = current fair value of GE Aerospace debt and equity (US$ in millions)
FCFF0 = the last year GE Aerospace free cash flow to the firm (US$ in millions)
WACC = weighted average cost of GE Aerospace capital
Year | Value | gt |
---|---|---|
1 | g1 | 1.21% |
2 | g2 | 3.77% |
3 | g3 | 6.33% |
4 | g4 | 8.89% |
5 and thereafter | g5 | 11.45% |
where:
g1 is implied by PRAT model
g5 is implied by single-stage model
g2, g3 and g4 are calculated using linear interpoltion between g1 and g5
Calculations
g2 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 1.21% + (11.45% – 1.21%) × (2 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 3.77%
g3 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 1.21% + (11.45% – 1.21%) × (3 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 6.33%
g4 = g1 + (g5 – g1) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 1.21% + (11.45% – 1.21%) × (4 – 1) ÷ (5 – 1)
= 8.89%
