WACC vs. Flow to Equity
Ë The company's cash flows will probably not be forecasted
to infinity. Financial managers usually forecast to a
medium-term horizon -- ten years, say -- and add a
terminal value to the cash flows in the horizon year. The
terminal value is the present value at the horizon of post-
horizon flows. Estimating the terminal value requires
careful attention, because it often accounts for the
majority of the value of the company.
