The Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a company might be worth by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them back to today using a required return. It is essentially asking what those future dollars are worth in your hands right now.

For Jabil, the latest twelve month free cash flow is about $953.8 million. Using a 2 stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model, analysts have provided explicit forecasts up to 2028, with Simply Wall St extrapolating further out. By 2035, the projection used in the model is free cash flow of roughly $2.95b, expressed in today’s dollars through discounting each year’s estimate.

When all these projected cash flows are added together, the DCF model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of about $349.58 per share. Compared with the recent share price of US$221.81, this implies the stock is trading at a 36.5% discount to that intrinsic estimate. This indicates a material gap between the model’s value and the market price.
