Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc.'s cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 37.5% to -4.7% annually, with expenses (COGS, SG&A, R&D) held at historical ratios. Depreciation is computed from a vintage matrix based on a 5-year useful life. Working capital is modeled using historical turnover days (DSO 122, DPO 68, DIO 65). At a 8.9% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (139% of enterprise value) is derived from the Gordon Growth Model on Year 6 FCFF at a 4.0% perpetual rate. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $2.08 per share, suggesting BW is overvalued by 86.0% at the current price of $14.86.
