Reverse DCF

Perpetual growth implied by the market 7.85%
Perpetual-growth ceiling (nominal GDP) 3.50%
Circularity check drift 4.39e-14%

A reverse DCF does not produce an intrinsic value. Feeding its g back into the same formula always returns the market price: that is a mathematical identity, not a valuation. The judgement comes next: is that number plausible?

Implied g exceeds the ceiling. The market is pricing growth that cannot last forever → a sign of overvaluation.

The middle row is the WACC computed from the input file; the middle column is the implied g. Every figure on this page comes straight from scripts/dcf.py, the same function as the CLI worksheet, so the two cannot silently diverge.
