Does the June share price for Klingelnberg AG (VTX:KLIN) reflect what it's really worth? Today, we will estimate the stock's intrinsic value by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to today's value. We will take advantage of the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model for this purpose. It may sound complicated, but actually it is quite simple!
We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. For those who are keen learners of equity analysis, the Simply Wall St analysis model here may be something of interest to you.
We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.
As Klingelnberg operates in the machinery sector, we need to calculate the intrinsic value slightly differently. In this approach dividends per share (DPS) are used, as free cash flow is difficult to estimate and often not reported by analysts. This often underestimates the value of a stock, but it can still be good as a comparison to competitors. We use the Gordon Growth Model, which assumes dividend will grow into perpetuity at a rate that can be sustained. The dividend is expected to grow at an annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 0.4%. We then discount this figure to today's value at a cost of equity of 5.7%. Relative to the current share price of CHF13.0, the company appears about fair value at a 19% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out.
Value Per Share = Expected Dividend Per Share / (Discount Rate - Perpetual Growth Rate)
= €0.9 / (5.7% – 0.4%)
= CHF15.9
We would point out that the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate and of course the actual cash flows. If you don't agree with these result, have a go at the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Klingelnberg as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 5.7%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.228. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.

Although the valuation of a company is important, it ideally won't be the sole piece of analysis you scrutinize for a company. The DCF model is not a perfect stock valuation tool. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different.

Pregnant Woman Says Her Husband 'Is Very Excited' to Take a Low-Paying Job with Tons of Travel — But She's ‘Pretty Annoyed'
A pregnant woman says that her husband is considering taking a job that does not pay well and would require lots of travel She says that she is 'pretty annoyed,' and that he doesn't seem to see how the timing 'isn't ideal' The woman detailed her story on a popular community forum in order to get input from others about whether or not she's being unreasonableA pregnant woman says that her husband is thinking about taking a low-paying job that requires lots of travel — and says he doesn't seem to understand why this 'isn't ideal.' The woman detailed her story on the 'Am I Being Unreasonable' forum on the U.K.-based community site a place where women can go to seek advice from other women about interpersonal issues. In her post, the woman — who says she is expecting her first child — explains that her husband was recently let go from his job. 'Not ideal but he got a great payout, and I earn really good money (I'm by far the higher earner),' she adds. The original poster (OP) goes on to say that her husband was 'nonetheless getting to the point where he was getting worried about the fact he didn't yet have a new job,' and thus was 'very excited' when a friend recently offered him a 'business opportunity.' She says that the job would require 'traveling a lot,' and 'he would not be earning anywhere near enough for me to give up my job.' 'So I'm looking at having a baby, a full-time job and an absentee partner while I spend evenings alone,' she says, adding that she has no nearby familial support. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! The OP says that she is 'pretty annoyed,' and 'definitely didn't react well' to the initial conversation about the new opportunity. However, she also says that her husband 'does not see how this isn't ideal.' 'Obviously, I want to support his next career move, but surely the timing has to be considered?' she goes on to say, adding, 'I'd rather he didn't work at all than take a job where he was hardly going to be around when we have a baby.' The majority of post commenters reassured the OP that her feelings about the situation are not unreasonable. 'No, he shouldn't be considering a job with unknown amounts of travel at this point. That's crazy,' one person said. Another person added, 'Some may see it as 'controlling,' but I've always categorically let my [husband] know I will not accept a relationship where he travels a lot for work or works long hours as the norm. It's not the life I want, and I'm not going to parent that way. He is free to accept that or leave!' 'YANBU [you are not being unreasonable] at all,' said someone else, adding, 'Is he perhaps feeling worried about being able to provide for his family, so grasping at anything that comes his way?'

Florian Wirtz deal forces €80m forward to Saudi Arabia
Diaz tipped for Liverpool exit Although Wirtz is an attacking midfielder by trade, the player tends to drift left. That will lessen the need for an out-and-out wide man like Diaz. Combine the Wirtz deal with the arrival of Milos Kerkez - an attack-minded left-back - and you can see how Diaz might be squeezed out of Arne Slot's first-team plans. Advertisement And there's also Diaz's contract to consider. The Colombia international is out of contract in 2027, currently earning a reported £55k per week. Following his excellent campaign, Diaz might feel like he's entitled to a bumper pay rise. So far however, sporting director Richard Hughes has refused to sanction it. With Diaz's terms ticking down, it means Liverpool might well be tempted to cash in if a decent offer arrives. It's clear that Barcelona won't come up with the requisite amount - said to be €80m - which leaves Saudi Arabian sides in the equation. © IMAGO Liverpool back away from Diaz talks Al-Nassr are reportedly keen on Diaz and it's likely that the player ends up in the Saudi Pro League as soon as this summer. That's according to a new report from TBR Football - which suggests Liverpool have WALKED AWAY from Diaz's contract talks. Advertisement 'Liverpool have backed away from contract talks with Diaz,' the report reads. 'The Colombian will move to Saudi Arabia.' Of the left-wing position: "Wirtz will end up playing there," the report reads. They've got Gakpo as well." Trent Alexander-Arnold and Caoimhin Kelleher have already departed while Jarell Quansah is soon expected to go.

Spain exempt from Nato's 5pc spending target
Spain will be exempt from spending 5 per cent of its GDP on defence after striking a deal with Nato, the country's prime minister said. Speaking ahead of this week's Nato summit in The Hague, Pedro Sanchez said he had achieved a 'success' for his country by securing an exception from the new spending target, which had been billed as a strict requirement for all 32 Nato members. It puts Madrid at odds with Donald Trump, the US president, who has called for a significant increase in defence spending and cast doubt on his willingness to defend Nato allies 'if they don't pay'. Mr Sanchez said Spain could fulfil its existing commitments to Nato with a defence budget of 2.1 per cent of GDP. 'We fully respect the legitimate desire of other countries to increase their defence investment, but we are not going to do so,' the Spanish prime minister said in a televised address on Sunday. Mark Rutte, the Nato secretary general, warned members earlier this month that they must commit to spending 5 per cent on defence spending or 'better learn to speak Russian'. It came after he had warned that Vladimir Putin could attack Nato by 2030. According to Nato estimates, Spain spent only 1.24 per cent of GDP on defence last year. In April, Mr Sanchez pledged to increase defence spending to 2 per cent by the end of this year. But Spain's Left-wing government is divided on the need to increase military spending and a think-tank linked to the administration has cast doubt on whether the 2 per cent target for this year is feasible. Mr Sanchez wrote to Mr Rutte last week to say that 5 per cent of GDP was 'unreasonable and counter-productive', arguing that such a commitment would impact the country's social spending and undermine EU plans for technological growth. On Sunday, it emerged that the agreement Nato leaders will sign at The Hague on Wednesday has been altered to accommodate Spain's objections. The text on the spending pledge has been changed from 'we commit' to 'allies commit', allowing Mr Sanchez to claim the commitment would not apply to Spain. Under the plan, countries are meant to reach 5 per cent of GDP by boosting their core defence spending goal from 2 per cent to 3.5 per cent, and adding a further 1.5 per cent on related items such as cyber security and adapting roads and bridges for military vehicles. Mr Sanchez said that Spain needs only to spend 2.1 per cent of GDP to meet its Nato capability targets – the personnel, equipment and infrastructure requirements set by the alliance The announcement comes at a time of political difficulty for Mr Sanchez, who is under enormous pressure over a corruption scandal within his Socialist party.
