What's Driving This Ratingfor BKR

✓

CapEx already efficient

CapEx at 3.67% of revenue is already at or below sector maintenance level. No normalization needed — cash conversion is already strong.

✓

Premium margins already priced in

EBIT margin of 22.96% is already well above sector average. The model holds this level — there's limited room for margin expansion to drive upside. Valuation depends primarily on revenue growth.

→

Moderate revenue growth

Analyst consensus projects 0.55% revenue growth, fading to 2.00% by Year 10. Revenue reaches $34.9B (vs $27.7B today).

🎯

Market pricing in lower growth than model

The market implies only 0.50% perpetual growth — 150bps below the model's 2.00%. This suggests the market sees headwinds or risks not in the model.

✓

Strong cash flow conversion

Year 10 FCF/EBITDA conversion of 78.37% indicates efficient cash generation. FCF reaches $7.4B by Year 10 (21.14% FCF margin).

WACC Calculation
