TTM Technologies (TTMI) Stock Could Be 17% Overvalued Following Fresh Debt Funded Growth Push

TTM Technologies has turned into a powerful long term winner. With the stock now at US$124.19 after years of strong gains, the real question is whether the cash the business can generate still backs up that price.

• Over the past 5 years the share price has delivered a very large gain of about 9x, which puts real pressure on the company’s future cash flows to do more work to justify the move.
• Management is leaning on heavy investment, including new debt and acquisitions aimed at data center and aerospace demand, which can support higher future cash generation but also increases the claims that lenders and new projects have on that cash.
• What if you looked at TTM Technologies through its earnings instead? See why TTM Technologies's 55.3x P/E tells a different valuation story.

For investors, the debate is whether TTM Technologies’ current share price is adequately supported by the cash flows implied by its intrinsic value estimate under the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach.

Does TTM Technologies Look Pricey on Cash Flow?

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach to weigh what TTM Technologies might earn for shareholders over time. On the latest twelve month numbers, the group produced about $28.3 million in free cash flow, while analyst projections used in the model assume this builds to several hundred million dollars a year over the next decade as the business moves deeper into data center and aerospace work.

Those growing cash flow estimates still leave the DCF outcome meaningfully below the current share price of US$124.19. The recent $500 million senior notes issue to fund acquisitions helps explain why the market may be assigning a rich tag to TTM Technologies today, since extra leverage raises both potential upside and the claims on future free cash generation. That tension between ambitious growth plans and a valuation already ahead of the DCF output is what the intrinsic worth link tests in more detail.
