Compass Minerals International, Inc.

AI-generated fair value estimate for this company.

Method: 10-year unlevered FCF DCF: $77.9M TTM free cash flow base; 4% FCF growth years 1-5 (potash/salt price and volume recovery); 3% years 6-10; 10% discount rate; 2% terminal growth; ~$718.3M net debt; 41.98M shares outstanding.

Reasoning: Compass Minerals is a leveraged, turnaround-stage miner with thin current margins, so the DCF is built on current (not aspirational) FCF; the elevated 10% discount rate reflects high financial leverage (net debt/FCF > 9x) and commodity price risk in potash and salt markets.
