How does this work?
A valuation is an assessment of the value of one share in a company, it is not necessarily the same as the price listed in the sharemarket. You can use a variety of methods to value a company, Valuecruncher uses Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis to help people create the valuations you see below.

Even with those assumptions (which are completely reasonable) - the valuation is still nearly 30% above the current share price.

Assumptions:
Revenue: Reuters aggregates 17 analysts covering $IBM and these analysts have mean estimates of 2008 and 2009 revenues of US$106.7 billion and US$111.7 billion respectively. For our analysis we have used US$105.0 billion in 2008, US$106.5 billion in 2009 and US$110.0 billion in 2010.
Profitability: We have used an EBITDA margin of 20% flat to 2010. Reuters has $IBM‘s EBITD margin at 20.26% last year.
Capital Expenditure: We have assumed capital expenditures of US$5.0 billion in 2008 and 2009 rising to US$5.5 million in 2010 and beyond.
Discount Rate: 10.5%.
Terminal Growth Rate: 3.0%.
Our analysis incorporates the cash and debt the $IBM balance sheet – Valuecruncher calculates a net debt number.

Our assumptions are revenues of US$105.0 billion in 2008 growing to US$115.0 billion in 2010. This growth is a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% for 2007-10 this compares to a 4% CAGR from 2005-7. We have used a flat EBITDA margin of 20% to 2010. We used a terminal growth rate of 3.0%. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$5.5 billion. We have used a WACC (discount rate) of 9.0%. All of these assumptions can be amended in the Valuecruncher on-line valuation model to adjust the valuation.

IBM grew revenues from US$91.4 billion in 2006 to US$98.8 billion in 2007 – 8% year-on-year growth. Our assumptions of revenues for the next three years are US$109.0 billion in 2008 growing to US$121.0 billion in 2010 – a 7% compound annual growth rate. We have projected EBITDA margins to grow from 20.0% in 2008 to 21.0% in 2010. We have used a terminal growth rate of 3%. We used a terminal capital expenditure number of US$5.75 billion. We have utilised a WACC (discount rate) of 9%.
