Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Sample Valuation Model

Revenue/Margin/Taxes are projected which will result in a forecasted NOPAT

How much of NOPAT will be reinvested? Must be estimated. Note that there should be a logical correlation between how much in invested and the growth in Revenue. This is judgemental.

With NOPAT and Reinvestment Projected this will result in FCF for the forecast period.

Forecast NOPAT for the first year of the residual period.

ROIC – Some thought must be given to the company’s ROIC. Is it increasing / decreasing from where it was historically? Where will it be in the first year of the RESIDUAL period? If ROIC > WACC then it has a positive spread. Positive Spread creates value! However, for most companies in a competitive environment in the long run WACC = ROIC resulting in a no-growth model.

Growth Strategy – Investment Rate Estimated based on Growth & ROIC

Growth= IR * ROIC

2.0% = ? * .15

IR = G/ROIC

IR = .02/.15 = .13

No Growth / Harvesting NOPAT = FCF
