In five years, a firm is expected to be operating in a stage of its life cycle wherein its expected growth rate is 5%, indefinitely; its required rate of return on equity is 11%; its weighted average cost of capital is 9%; and the free cash flow to equity is $5.25 per share at the end of year 5. What is its projected terminal value at that time?

Terminal value = FCFE / (k ? g) = $5.25 / (0.11 ? 0.05) = $87.50
Terminal value in a multi-stage free cash flow to equity (FCFE) valuation model is often calculated as the present value of:

Terminal values are usually calculated as the present value of the price produced by a constant-growth model as of the beginning of the last stage, which is FCFE / (required rate on equity – growth).
Terminal value in multi-stage free cash flow valuation models is often calculated as the present value of:

Terminal values are usually calculated as the present value of the price produced by a constant-growth model as of the beginning of the last stage.
In the two-stage FCFE model, the required rate of return for calculating terminal value should be:

In most cases, the required rate of return used to calculate the terminal value should be lower than the required rate of return used for initial high-growth phase. During the stable period the firm is less risky and the required rate of return is therefore lower.
