Method: 10-year two-stage DCF: normalized FCF base of $0.6M (modest positive estimate despite the -$2.44M TTM net loss, reflecting depreciation add-back on a small, asset-light fastener/tooling manufacturer); 1% annual growth throughout, 13% discount rate, 1.5% terminal growth; plus $2.0M net cash. Equity value $7.13M / 0.966M shares = $7.40/share.
Reasoning: Chicago Rivet & Machine is a tiny, century-old automotive fastener manufacturer that recently suspended its dividend amid a cyclical automotive-production downturn; I used conservative near-flat growth and an elevated discount rate to reflect its small size, thin margins, and recent earnings volatility.
