Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Dauch Corporation's cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 72.9% to -10.4% 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 49, DPO 51, DIO 32). At a 5.0% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (96% 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 $250.94 per share, suggesting DCH is undervalued by 3731.2% at the current price of $6.55.
Adjust parameters to explore scenarios. Changes are for exploration only and do not affect saved valuations.

Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Dauch Corporation's cash flows over 10 years with analyst estimates for the first 3–5 years, fading toward long-term GDP growth for the remaining years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from 72.9% to 3.0% 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 49, DPO 51, DIO 32). At a 5.0% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (87% of enterprise value) is derived from the Gordon Growth Model on Year 11 FCFF at a 4.0% perpetual rate. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $100.02 per share, suggesting DCH is undervalued by 1427.0% at the current price of $6.55.
