Creative Enterprise has $500 million in debt and 20 million shares of equity outstanding. Its excess cash reserves are $15 million. They are expected to generate $200 million in free cash flows next year with a growth rate of 2% per year in perpetuity. Creative Enterprise’s cost of equity capital is 12%. How much would the price per share of stock be?
(Round up your answer to the nearest two decimal points)
Value of a firm is present value of the future free cash flows.
Here, future free cash flows are in form of a growing perpetuity, whose PV can be calculated as:
Firm Value = FCF next year / [r - g]
PV of free cashflows = $200 million/(12%-2%)
PV of Free Cash Flows = $ 2000 million
Add: Cash = $15 million
less: Debt = $500 million
therefore, Value of common equity = 2000 + 15 -500 = $ 1515 million
Number of Shares issued = 20 million
Share price @ 2% growth = Value of common equity/ Number of Shares issued = 1515/20
Share price @ 2% growth = 75.75
