  • DCF FCF-based intrinsic value of $141.52 vs current price (significantly overvalued)
  • GF Scoreâ„¢ of 91/100 indicates high reliability of the DCF inputs

What Is NXPI Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model

The DCF earnings-based model for NXP Semiconductors NV uses a two-stage approach to estimate the intrinsic value of the stock. In the first stage, we assume a robust growth rate of 21.0% for the next ten years, after which we transition to a terminal growth rate of 4% for the following decade. The discount rate applied is 11%, which combines the risk-free rate and equity risk premium.

Parameter Value
Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $12.23
10-Year Growth Rate 21.0%
10-Year Treasury Rate 4.53%
Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 11%
Terminal Growth Rate 4%

The calculation summary for the two-stage model is as follows:

Stage Description Value
Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 21.0%, discounted at 11% $202.64
Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 11% $206.08
Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $408.72

With the current price at $297.41 and the intrinsic value calculated at $408.72, NXPI appears to be modestly undervalued, offering a margin of safety of 29.3%. It is important to note that GuruFocus uses EPS excluding non-recurring items, as research indicates that stock prices correlate more closely with earnings than with free cash flow. For further details, you can visit the NXPI DCF Calculator.

What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say?

The free cash flow (FCF) based intrinsic value for NXPI is calculated at $141.52. This value significantly contrasts with the earnings-based intrinsic value of $408.72, indicating a divergence in valuation perspectives. The FCF model suggests that the stock is significantly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -110.2%.

How Does GF Valueâ„¢ Compare to the DCF Models?

The GF Valueâ„¢ for NXP Semiconductors NV is $229.50, providing a third perspective on valuation.

Key Assumptions and Limitations

It is essential to recognize that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth rates and discount rates. Stocks with low predictability ratings, such as NXPI, tend to produce less reliable DCF estimates. The terminal growth rate of 4% is also a simplifying assumption that may not reflect actual future performance.

What This Means for Investors

In synthesizing the three valuation models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—we find that there are conflicting signals regarding NXPI's valuation. While the DCF earnings model suggests that the stock is modestly undervalued, the DCF FCF model indicates significant overvaluation, and the GF Value™ also suggests overvaluation. Overall, the consensus leans towards a conclusion of overvaluation. For the full DCF analysis, visit the NXPI DCF Calculator.
