Growth through Acquisition

DCF Valuation of a Listed Company

NVIDIA valued on peer multiples and an unlevered FCF model to 2032, off FY2022 filings and Visible Alpha consensus, with bear/street/bull switches on revenue, EBIT, WACC and TGR. At an 11.28% street WACC implied value runs €48.43 to €103.13 — 35.5% below the €160 market price even on the bull case.

Position taken at $121 pre-split in October 2022 on the AI demand drivers the model could not price; closed at $126 post 10-for-1 split, +941%.
