Adjust growth, discount rate, and terminal growth; then review the scenario outcomes and the filing-based DCF verification trail.

| Worst case | 7.0% | 2.3% | 10.0% |
| Base case | 14.0% | 3.0% | 8.5% |
| Bull case | 20.0% | 3.5% | 7.5% |

Saved indicative quote supplies the comparison price. Filing data is unavailable or rate-limited, so the valuation remains anchored to the reviewed repository model and is identified as a reference.
Alphabet reported 2025 operating cash flow of $164.7B, capital expenditures of $91.4B, and free cash flow of $73.3B. Management’s official 2026 capex guidance is $175B–$185B. The corrected filing-based DCF starts from operating cash flow and subtracts a disclosed maintenance-capex proxy equal to D&A plus 25% of capex above D&A. It therefore recognizes reinvestment without assuming every current AI-infrastructure dollar recurs forever as maintenance.
Figures are from Alphabet’s February 4, 2026 fiscal-year results. Read the company release ↗
The FCF is calibrated on a one-share, zero-net-debt basis to reproduce the reviewed base estimate. This validates scenario and reverse-DCF math, but it is not a claim about reported company cash flow or diluted shares.
| Year | Growth | Projected FCF / share | Present value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 14.0% | $12 | $11 |
| Year 2 | 11.3% | $13 | $11 |
| Year 3 | 8.5% | $15 | $11 |
| Year 4 | 5.8% | $15 | $11 |
| Year 5 | 3.0% | $16 | $11 |

RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
Normalized free cash flow, capital expenditure, dilution, stock-based compensation, and business-specific growth assumptions are reviewed consistently across the ten active companies.
The official U.S. 10-year Treasury yield anchors a transparent CAPM and capital-structure discount-rate estimate.
Market-implied FCF growth is solved from the observed price and compared directly with the ValuePoint 21 growth assumption.
Analyst consensus, bear/base/bull cases, and an interactive sensitivity matrix frame a range rather than a single precise answer.
