We don’t tell you what MXL 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 MXL’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
N/A
Starting free cash flow is not positive; the model has nothing to grow.
Preset inputs — revenue-driven DCF from the latest filing
Implied by today’s price
The price implies stage-1 FCF growth of 200.0%. Even 200% yearly free-cash-flow growth lands below today’s price with the other inputs held; 200% is the edge of what this model can show.
Not solvable from the price — Even 200% yearly free-cash-flow growth lands below today’s price with the other inputs held; 200% is the edge of what this model can show. Showing preset inputs.
Implied discount rate (holding growth): 2.7% · the WACC that makes the same model print the price
That is the assumption the market is making — not ours, and not a recommendation. Decide whether it is reasonable: the growth matrix shows what MXL has actually filed, and the AI chat will reason it through with you.
Free cash flow grows at your stage-1 rate, then your stage-2 rate, then a terminal rate; everything is discounted at your WACC.
Yearly free-cash-flow growth for the first stage. Starts below zero so a shrinking-cash-flow case — and the rate today’s price implies — can be set.
How long stage-1 growth lasts.
Slower growth after stage 1, before the terminal phase.
Growth forever after the two stages. Above ~3% is rarely justified.
