Approach 1: TD SYNNEX Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a business could be worth by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them back to today using a required return. It is essentially asking what all those future dollars are worth in present terms.

For TD SYNNEX, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach built on cash flow projections. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about $1.22b. Analyst inputs and subsequent extrapolations by Simply Wall St point to projected free cash flow reaching about $2.05b in 2035, with interim projections such as $1.08b in 2026 and $1.49b in 2028, all expressed in $.

When these projected cash flows are discounted back, the DCF output suggests an estimated intrinsic value of around $314.07 per share. Compared with a current share price of about $217.88, this implies TD SYNNEX trades at a 30.6% discount to that estimate, which screens as materially undervalued on this model.

Approach 2: TD SYNNEX Price vs Earnings

For a profitable company like TD SYNNEX, the P/E ratio is a straightforward way to link what you pay per share to the earnings that support that price. Investors typically look for a P/E that lines up with the company’s growth outlook and risk profile. Higher expected growth or lower perceived risk can often support a higher “normal” P/E.

TD SYNNEX currently trades on a P/E of 17.88x. This sits below the Electronic industry average P/E of 29.32x and also below the peer group average of 20.72x. Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio for TD SYNNEX is 20.67x, which reflects a tailored view of what the P/E might be given factors such as earnings growth, industry, profit margin, market cap and risk characteristics.

The Fair Ratio aims to be more targeted than simple peer or industry comparisons because it adjusts for the company’s own profile rather than assuming all businesses deserve similar multiples. Comparing 17.88x to the Fair Ratio of 20.67x suggests the shares trade below that customised benchmark, which points to TD SYNNEX looking undervalued on this metric.

Result: UNDERVALUED
