# AAPL Illustrative DCF Scenario

Advisory: Illustrative scenario only - not investment advice. This page applies explicit assumptions to verified public inputs. It is not an estimate of what AAPL is worth, and it does not compare with any market price. Changing assumptions changes the outputs. Informational only - not investment advice.

Input period: 2025-09-27. Company: Apple Inc.. Pack hash: bdf37ef866ea3e1058576314d87f165aa793a3604f833c0cdc54456fcff12887.

## Verified inputs and stated assumptions

AAPL's latest verified free cash flow is 98,767,000,000. The share count is computed as 15,014,745,308 using verified net income and diluted EPS. The rough debt proxy is 249,574,000,000, computed as liabilities minus cash.

The scenario uses 5 explicit years, 0.00% annual FCF growth, 9.00% discount rate, and 2.50% terminal growth. These are illustrative assumptions, not predictions.

## Scenario output

Under the stated assumptions, lmfin computes 76.38 per share and 1,146,850,071,886 equity output. The terminal component is 72.49% of the total enterprise output.

## Sensitivity

The sensitivity grid changes only the discount-rate and terminal-growth assumptions. It shows how the per-share output changes mechanically when assumptions change.
