What today's price assumes

At $81.8B, the market is pricing in -3.4% annual free-cash-flow growth for the next decade (10% discount rate, 2.5% terminal growth). Over the last ten years, FCF actually grew 23.6% per year — expectations look undemanding relative to history.

Simple DCF per-share range: $494 · $1,108 · $1,597 (4% / base / optimistic growth). An estimate, not a target.
