Using an unlevered Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF) model, we project Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc.'s cash flows over 5 years with line-by-line expense modeling. Revenue is projected revenue growing from -2.8% to 30.0% 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 7155, DPO 1514, DIO 60). At a 11.3% WACC with mid-year discounting, the terminal value (0% of enterprise value) is derived by applying the industry peer median EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.6x to Year 6 EBITDA. After subtracting net debt, the equity value implies a fair price of $16.48 per share, suggesting PSBD is undervalued by 55.3% at the current price of $10.61.
