Tencent Music Entertainment Group has seen its share price fall sharply over the past year, which puts the spotlight firmly on what investors are actually paying for in terms of its cash flows. With the stock now trading at US$7.89, the key issue is whether that price lines up with the cash the business is expected to generate over time.
The stock’s next move may depend on whether Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s current price is supported by its cash flows when compared with an intrinsic value estimate based on Discounted Cash Flow (DCF).
If you want a wider starting point for research alongside Tencent Music Entertainment Group, you could also run a focused screen built around 34 high quality undervalued stocks.
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here uses Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s own cash generation as the anchor. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about CN¥9.9b, which gives the analysis a solid current cash base rather than a purely story driven projection.
Analysts then incorporate a path where free cash flow in CN¥ terms is projected to grow over the next few years and later level off into more modest moves. Those future streams are discounted back and, when compared with the traded share price of US$7.89, the DCF outcome suggests the estimated intrinsic value is meaningfully above where the stock changes hands today.
