RBA.TO Fair Value
Reverse DCF: today's price implies 12.2% a year of FCF growth for years 1–5, against 5.2% in this model.
Model: 5.2% from analyst next-year revenue growth. Fades linearly to terminal growth by year 10.
Model: 7.34% (CAPM, see the build-up).
Long-run growth after year 10; keep it at or below nominal GDP.

Method
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 next year's revenue growth (steadier than one year's EPS), else next year's EPS growth, else revenue CAGR, held between −2% and 25%. Terminal growth defaults to 3%.
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.
