Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
AI Valuation
AI-generated fair value estimate for this company.
Method: 10-year normalized FCF DCF: operating cash flow starting at $4,571M TTM growing 6%/yr; capex normalizing from ~$4.9B in yr1 down to ~$3.2B steady-state by yr5 (then growing 3%/yr) as megaprojects (NEOM blue hydrogen, Louisiana Clean Energy Complex) complete; 8.5% discount rate; 2.5% terminal growth; $17,291M net debt; 222.69M shares outstanding.
Reasoning: Air Products is mid-way through an unusually heavy multi-year capex cycle funding large take-or-pay gasification/hydrogen megaprojects, producing negative current FCF; normalizing capex toward historical maintenance+growth levels once projects complete yields an intrinsic value below the current market price, reflecting real execution and capex-overrun risk in the megaproject backlog.
