DCI Price Forecast Based on DCF Valuation

We started the process of determining a valid price forecast for Donaldson Co Inc with a discounted cash flow analysis -- the results of which can be found in the table below. To summarize, we found that Donaldson Co Inc ranked in the 41th percentile in terms of potential gain offered. We should note, though, that the most conservative analysis suggests this stock will yield negative results -- and thus may be a potential short opportunity. In terms of the factors that were most noteworthy in this DCF analysis for DCI, they are:

• Interest coverage, a measure of earnings relative to interest payments, is 21.29 -- which is good for besting 87.37% of its peer stocks (US stocks in the Industrials sector with positive cash flow).
• The business' balance sheet suggests that 7% of the company's capital is sourced from debt; this is greater than merely 21.91% of the free cash flow producing stocks we're observing.
• DCI's estimated cost of debt, based largely on its market capitalization and its interest coverage ratio, is 3%; for context, that number is higher than 39.68% of tickers in our DCF set.

ALLE, ETN, HIL, HWCC, and B can be thought of as valuation peers to DCI, in the sense that they are in the Industrials sector and have a similar price forecast based on DCF valuation.
