How to Value Companies in the Food & Personal Care Sector
Cash-generative. Businesses with relatively steady free cash flow and assets that book value understates (brands, software, reserves). A DCF on free cash flow per share and P/E against the sector median suit them.
Two-stage DCF
Future free cash flow discounted back to today: suits companies whose cash flow is steady enough to forecast.
P/E-relative
EPS × the sector's typical P/E: what the company would be worth if the market priced it like its peers.
