Corporate finance · valuation$46.82 PER SHARE

What WACC is

The blend of the returns debt and equity investors require, weighted by how much of the company each of them funds. It is the price of waiting: at 9% a dollar arriving in five years is worth 65 cents today, at 12% it is 57. That difference is why a quarter-point moves the price more than most operating assumptions do.

price$46.82terminal75% of value

This is the base case, so every bar between the ends is zero and the price is the base price. Move one slider and its bar becomes the part of $46.82 that assumption is responsible for. The terminal value is already 75% of it — most of this valuation is a claim about the years nobody forecast.

£1,000 at 10% a year, compounded annually, is worth how much after two years?
