Is Hazama Ando Still Cheap on Cash Flow?
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach here looks at the cash Hazama Ando can produce for shareholders and discounts it back to today. On the latest twelve month numbers, the group generated roughly ¥23.7b of free cash flow, which gives the model a solid cash base rather than a purely theoretical starting point.
Projections in the 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model assume that Hazama Ando's free cash flow grows from that level at a moderate pace before easing into slower expansion over time. When those cash flows are discounted and compared with the current share price of ¥1,748.00, the DCF projections put Hazama Ando's estimated intrinsic value substantially above the current share price. That sets up a clear valuation gap for investors who want to see how sensitive the outcome is to different cash flow or discount rate assumptions.
