DCF Valuation (1): Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad


I have recently completed the valuation for few companies for my own investment research. I used the discounted cash flow method ("DCF") to derive the valuation of the companies. So far all the companies I valued are blue chip companies which generate stable free cash flow and thus they are suitable to be valued by the DCF method.

The 1st company I did the research was Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad. I completed this valuation few weeks ago and share that in a chinese investment forum. Since I have not long updated my blog for quite some time, I uploaded my research to update my blog.

According to my research, the intrinsic value of Nestle is RM48.37 per share. As I am a value investor, so I would only buy a company's share which market price is 20% in discount to its intrinsic value, so the target price of Nestle is RM38.70.

  1. please check with you:

    for FY2011
    EBITDA = 619.2
    EBITDA * (1 - Tax rate) = 773.9 ??

    should it be:
    EBITDA * (1 - Tax rate)
    = 619.2 * (1-0.25)
    = 464.4

  2. My appology.

    You are right to point out that my formula is wrong. It should be lower after deducting tax, so the free cash flow should be lower.

    I was wrong because my tax rate was referring to negative tax rate, so minus the negative tax rate will become positive (1+Tax Rate).
