Every method that could be solved backwards opens on the assumption today’s price makes, so the top range sits on the price — that is arithmetic, not a view. Change any input and it becomes yours.

We don’t tell you what CRNC is worth. Every tab OPENS on what today’s price implies for that method’s key assumption; you decide whether that assumption is reasonable — the growth matrix has CRNC’s filed history and the AI chat will reason it through with you — and the range you build is yours. Our presets are filed history and reference settings, never a recommendation.

Discounted cash flow

$8.65per share

0% above the $8.65 price

Your stage-1 FCF growth (9.9%) matches the 9.9% the price implies — your value lands on today’s price.

Your inputs — two-stage free-cash-flow model

Implied by today’s price

At $8.65 the market implies a stage-1 FCF growth of 9.9%. (two-stage FCF model solved for stage-1 growth at 15.16% WACC)

Implied discount rate (holding growth): 15.2% · the WACC that makes the same model print the price

This tab opens on that number, so the value above is today’s price restated. Move the slider to what you find reasonable: the growth matrix shows what CRNC has actually filed, and the AI chat will reason it through with you.
