Table of Contents
New York,NY – A discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis reveals that Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER) may be overvalued by approximately 30% based on current market conditions, according to a recent valuation. The assessment, wich projects Uber’s future cash flows and discounts them to present value, arrives at an intrinsic value per share of $65.10, considerably below the stock’s current trading price of $92.95. This discrepancy suggests limited upside potential for investors relying on this DCF model.
The analysis, conducted by The Acquirer’s multiple, arrives at this conclusion by forecasting Uber’s financial performance and applying a conservative discount rate. Despite Uber’s recent success in achieving consistent profitability and generating strong free cash flow, the model indicates the market has priced in more optimistic growth expectations. This valuation is critical for investors considering Uber stock, as it highlights a potential margin of safety concern and prompts a reevaluation of the company’s future prospects.
Valuation Breakdown
The DCF model calculates Uber’s enterprise value by summing the present value of its future free cash flows and the present value of its terminal value. Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) for the next 10 years is projected at $169.07 billion, while the present value of the terminal value is estimated at $106.09 billion. This results in a total Enterprise value of $141.48 billion.
To arrive at Equity Value, the analysis subtracts net Debt from the Enterprise Value. Uber currently holds $6.98 billion in cash against $11.13 billion in total debt, resulting in a Net Debt position of $4.15 billion. Consequently, the Equity Value is calculated at $137.33 billion.
Dividing the Equity Value by the 2.11 billion shares outstanding yields an Intrinsic Value per Share of $65.10. This figure is then compared to the current market price of $92.95, revealing a negative 30% margin of safety.
