In the visual above, we see how how AMER’s earnings are expected to move going forward, which should give you some color on AMER’s outlook. Next, I calculate the terminal value, which is the business’s cash flow after the first stage. I’ve decided to use the 10-year government bond rate of 2.8% as the stable growth rate, which is rightly below GDP growth, but more towards the conservative side. After discounting the terminal value back five years, the present value becomes $273M.
The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the cash flows, which in this case is $342M. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. This results in an intrinsic value of £0.21, which, compared to the current share price of £0.1925, we find that Amerisur Resources is about right, perhaps slightly undervalued at a 9.70% discount to what it is available for right now.

Whilst important, DCF calculation shouldn’t be the only metric you look at when researching a company.
For AMER, I’ve compiled three important aspects you should further examine:
PS. Simply Wall St does a DCF calculation for every GB stock every 6 hours, so if you want to find the intrinsic value of any other stock just search here.
