Assumptions used in this valuation
Every input below is either fetched live from Yahoo Finance or a documented default — nothing is hidden.
| Bear | Base | Bull | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-yr FCF growth | -7.5% | -5.0% | -2.5% |
| Terminal growth | 2.5% | 2.5% | 2.5% |
| WACC (discount rate) | 10.20% | 9.20% | 8.20% |
Cost of Equity = Risk-free rate + Beta × Equity Risk Premium = 4.80% + 1.00 × 6.00% = 10.80% · WACC = weighted by 71%/29% capital structure
These numbers come from running Santos Limited's cash flows through the mechanical DCF formula and assumptions above — not from any view on the news, management, or STO.AX's competitive position. What is DCF?

Not financial advice. DCF valuations are highly sensitive to assumptions — small changes in growth rate or discount rate produce large swings in output. This is a mechanical calculation, not a recommendation to buy, hold, or sell.
