AGCO Corporation Valuation

Currently selling at

$49.68 per share

From a stability perspective (or an EPV valuation focus) the intrinsic value is

$63.88

EPV Definition The basic concept of EPV is that one should value a stock based on the current free cash flow of a company and not on future projections which may, or may not, come true. This valuation tool excludes the potential growth that a company may have so that needs to be looked at separately. Since future growth is excluded from the analysis, only the maintenance capital expenditures are subtracted from after-tax EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) and growth capex is ignored

From a growth perspective (or a DCF valuation focus) the intrinsic value is

$82.15

DCF Definition A valuation method used to estimate the attractiveness of an investment opportunity.
