UPSIDE POTENTIAL- OPTIMISTIC CASE
-Revenue assumptions on the basis that Kapstone would continue its trend of
acquisitions, and that it makes a single acquisition in 2013 with much lesser
sales growth of 60% compared to 08’s sales growth of over 100%
-COGS have been assumed to fluctuate as its inputs are from a highly cyclical
industry and also based on the new revenue assumptions
- After adjusting CAPEX to account for the acquisition, DCF now gives a price
close to $35
