Yahoo Finance Intrinsic Calculation For TKH Group NV (AMS:TWEKA) Shows Investors Are Overpaying
I am going to run you through how I calculated the intrinsic value of TKH Group NV (AMS:TWEKA) by taking the foreast future cash flows of the company and discounting them back to today’s value. I will be using the discounted cash flows (DCF) model. It may sound complicated, but actually it is quite simple! If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the basis for my calcs can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model.

The method
I’m using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company’s growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have perpetual stable growth rate. To start off with we need to estimate the next five years of cash flows. For this I used the consensus of the analysts covering the stock, as you can see below. The sum of these cash flows is then discounted to today’s value.
5-year cash flow forecast
2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | |
Levered FCF (€, Millions) | €110.28 | €129.85 | €150.00 | €168.00 | €175.44 |
Source | Analyst x2 | Analyst x2 | Analyst x1 | Analyst x1 | Est @ 4.43% |
Present Value Discounted @ 10.5% | €99.79 | €106.34 | €111.16 | €112.67 | €106.47 |
Present Value of 5-year Cash Flow (PVCF)= €536.4m
We now need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all the future cash flows after the five years. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of the GDP. In this case I have used the 10-year government bond rate (0.7%). In the same way as with the 5-year ‘growth’ period, we discount this to today’s value at a cost of equity of 10.5%.
Terminal Value (TV) = FCF2022 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = €175.4m × (1 + 0.7%) ÷ (10.5% – 0.7%) = €1.80b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV) = TV / (1 + r)5 = €1.80b ÷ ( 1 + 10.5%)5 = €1.09b
The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the cash flows, which in this case is €1.63b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. If the stock is an depositary receipt (represents a specified number of shares in a foreign corporation) then we use the equivalent number. This results in an intrinsic value of €38.84. Compared to the current share price of €50.1, the stock is fair value, maybe slightly overvalued at the time of writing.
Important assumptions
The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. You don’t have to agree with my inputs, I recommend redoing the calculations yourself and playing with them. Because we are looking at TKH Group as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighed average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation I’ve used 10.5%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.054. This is derived from the Bottom-Up Beta method based on comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.
