Comments
The boring details
| All amounts in millions | Figures |
| Enterprise Value: | 84,722 |
| Net Debt (Long-term borrowings less cash): | -15,386 |
| Equity Value: | 147,618 |
| Number of Shares Outstanding: | 881,000,000 |
| Calculated value per share: | $149.75 |
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.

Apple (AAPL) Valuation Assumptions
Our assumptions are revenues of US$32.8 billion in 2008 growing to US$50.0 billion in 2010. We have used a flat EBITDA margin of 21% from 2008. We used a terminal growth rate of 5.75%. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$1.0 billion. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 11.0%.
Our analysis incorporates the cash on the Apple balance sheet – Valuecruncher calculates a net debt number.
Apple is a great company with incredibly innovative products that consumers all around the world want desperately. That is a position that must be envied by all their competitors in the technology space and beyond.
Warren Buffett’s famous quote is “It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price”. At around US$150 a share – in our view Apple fits that criteria.
