Reverse DCF calculator
Reverse DCF asks how much explicit-period growth this model needs so value per share matches the price you typed. That implied growth is not a forecast. Type the share count yourself.
Solve for g (explicit-period growth) so DCF value per share equals the entered price, holding the other inputs fixed.
Implied growth
Enter a share price, starting free cash flow, years, discount rate, terminal growth, and shares to calculate.
How to read implied growth
- Enter the share price. The market price you want the model to match, in USD.
- Enter the same DCF building blocks. Starting FCF, years, discount rate, terminal growth, cash, debt, and shares. Growth is the unknown.
- Read implied growth. The explicit-period growth that makes model value per share equal the price. No solution stays blank.
Frequently asked questions
- What does reverse DCF answer?
- How much explicit-period growth this model needs so value per share matches the price you typed. It does not say whether that growth will happen.
- When is there no solution?
- When even −50% or +100% growth cannot hit the price, or when terminal growth is at or above the discount rate. The result stays blank instead of inventing a rate.
- Is this investment advice?
- No. The calculator is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.
