The boring details
| All amounts in millions | Figures |
| Enterprise Value: | 323,799 |
| Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): | 39,102 |
| Equity Value: | 221,637 |
| Number of Shares Outstanding: | 3,943,000,000 |
| Calculated value per share: | $51.71 |
Enterprise Value is the present value of the post-tax cash flows for a business into the future.
Where:
- C1, C2, C3 - the cash flow in period 1, 2, 3, ...
- r - the discount rate
To capture the cash flows into the future a terminal value is calculated via a perpetuity calculation -
based on the final years forecast post-tax free cash flow.
Where:
- Cn - the cash flow in the final forecast period.
- LTG - the long-term growth rate
- r - the discount rate
- g - the terminal growth rate
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to determine the equity component in the discount rate.
Where:
- rt - the risk free rate
- t - the tax rate
- B - the beta of the company
- MRP - the Market Risk Premium
Valuecruncher uses an estimate of Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) to determine the discount rate in the calculation.

Wal-Mart grew revenues from US$284.3 billion in 2005 to US$378.8 billion in 2008 – a 10% compound annual growth rate. Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are US$405.0 billion in 2009 growing to US$465.0 billion in 2011 – a 7% compound annual growth rate. We have projected EBITDA margins to be flat at 7.5%. We have used a terminal growth rate of 3.5%. We calculated this terminal growth rate based on year three growth of 6.9% dropping to a 3% stable growth rate by year 10. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$14.5 billion. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 8%.
