Two-Stage DCF Valuation of Apple as of March 1, 2013

When conducting two-stage DCF valuation, we take into consideration the growth rates of the extraordinary growth phase and the consistent-growth phase. The H model allows for the use of both growth rates in evaluation of either the firm’s value of the equity being valued. The H model can be used to calculate a firm’s intrinsic value using the following formula:
