Is BRP (TSX:DOO) Trading Below Fair Value On Cash Flow?

BRP has seen its share price recover over the past year after a period of weaker long term returns, which puts fresh attention on whether the current valuation is well supported by the cash it can generate. With the stock at C$88.32, the key issue for you is whether that market price lines up with what its future cash flows suggest the business might be worth.

• Over the past 5 years the share price has declined 19.3%, which makes the current rerating a live question about how durable BRP's cash flow outlook really is.
• The company relies heavily on converting earnings into cash to fund product development and capital spending, so any change in that conversion can affect how much value investors place on each dollar of expected cash flow.
• Prefer to judge BRP on earnings? See why BRP's 54.6x P/E tells a different valuation story.

The stock's next move may depend on whether BRP's current share price is fully explained by the cash flows implied in its intrinsic value estimate using a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach.

Is BRP a Bargain on Cash Flow?

The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here looks at the cash BRP can return to shareholders over time and discounts it back to today in CA$. On the latest figures, the business produced last twelve month free cash flow of about CA$1.1b, which gives the model a solid starting base rather than a turnaround story built on hopes of future improvement.

The projection path assumes BRP’s free cash flow steps down from that recent level into the CA$500 million to CA$700 million range over the coming decade, then settles into relatively steady output. Against a share price of CA$88.32, those cash flow estimates still lead this DCF model to an intrinsic value that sits substantially above where the stock trades today. This suggests that the current market price does not fully reflect the cash flows implied in the model. Find out what BRP could be worth using our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) estimate.
