Is Mips a Bargain on Cash Flow?
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here focuses on the cash Mips can return to shareholders over time, not just next quarter's results. Latest twelve month free cash flow sits around SEK156.9 million, and the forecast set assumes that this cash generation grows rather than shrinks over the coming decade.
The key point for investors is that the projections build in rising free cash flow into the 2030s while still discounting those future SEK amounts back to today. On that basis, the DCF output sits substantially above the current share price of SEK409.80, which suggests the market price has not fully reflected the cash flows implied by this model yet.
