Reverse DCF: today's price implies 29.2% a year of FCF growth for years 1–5, against 14.0% in this model.
Model: 14.0% from analyst next-year EPS & revenue growth. Fades linearly to terminal growth by year 10.
Model: 9.57% (CAPM, see the build-up).
Long-run growth after year 10; keep it at or below nominal GDP.

Two-stage free-cash-flow model, the same as the bot's lgf dcf: five years at the chosen growth rate, a straight-line fade to terminal growth by year ten, then a Gordon-growth terminal value. Everything is discounted at WACC.
Base cash flow is the trailing four quarters of operating cash flow minus capital expenditure (the latest fiscal year when quarters are missing). Default growth uses analyst long-term growth when Yahoo publishes it, else the average of next year's EPS and revenue growth, else revenue CAGR, held between −5% and 25%.
A DCF is only as good as its inputs. The terminal value is usually most of the answer, so read the sensitivity grid before the headline number. This is a model, not investment advice.
