Devina Mehra, who is wife of ace investor Shankar Sharma as well, shared her views on Adani Enterprises share price from her official twitter handle citing, “We all know by now Prof @AswathDamodaran ‘fair value’ calculation of Rs.948 per share for Adani Enterprises. Here’s what happens if you vary the assumptions. If Cost of capital increases from 10% to 12% (logical as Risk free yields are 7.3% in India), the value drops to 645.”

Justifying her assumption on cost to capital, the IIM — Ahmedabad pass out said, “Prof. Damodaran himself mentions an equity risk premium over risk-free rate of 4.5%. So 12% appears logical even without accounting for the fact that infrastructure projects have more uncertainty & typically higher risk premium. Cost of capital = Risk-free rate + Risk Premium.”

“Of course, if you want to assume higher growth rates you can see those values as well. The elephant in the room and the reason why I stopped giving a lot of importance to DCF calculations in general? Almost all DCF models assume a company grows every year into perpetuity,” Devina added. However, the investment expert maintained that in real life, not even 10% of the companies meet this test.

“Plus, as you see, DCF calculations are super sensitive to Terminal period growth & cost of capital assumptions- essentially means that you can justify virtually any value you wish to.”
