What today's price assumes

The discounted cash flow model run backwards: not what the company is worth, but the growth the price takes for granted.

For a buyer at $158.86 who wants 9% a year, free cash flow would need to grow by about

+16.4%a year for ten years

Over the last 5 years it grew by +12.2% a year.

at 7% a year: +11.1%
at 9% a year: +16.4%
at 11% a year: +20.8%

Arithmetic on the price, not a forecast. Starts from free cash flow of $117M over the last 12 months and net debt $1.1B, the same growth each year for ten years, then 2.5% a year forever. Try other numbers in the DCF calculator.
