What today's price assumes

At $138.9B, the market is pricing in 6.3% annual free-cash-flow growth for the next decade (10% discount rate, 2.5% terminal growth). Over the last ten years, FCF actually grew 24.2% per year — expectations look undemanding relative to history.

Simple DCF per-share range: $106 · $237 · $341 (4% / base / optimistic growth). An estimate, not a target.

Historical multiple lens

At its own median P/OCF of 8.0× across 14 years, NEM would trade near $79/share (25th–75th percentile: $66–$98); it trades at 13.4× today.

Assumes the historical multiple regime persists — re-ratings can be permanent.
