With the help of the 2 -phase free cash flow according to equity, PSI software -estimate of the real value is € 44.35
The current share price of € 29.30 suggests that PSI software is potentially 34% undervalued
The € 35.90 analyst price objective for PSAN is 19% less than our estimate of the real value
How far is PSI Software SE (ETR: PSAN) of its intrinsic value? With the help of the most recent financial data, we will see if the share is reasonably priced by taking the expected future cash flows and taking them to their current value. This will be done with the help of the Discount Cash Flow (DCF) model (DCF). Do not be put off by the jargon, the math behind it is actually fairly simple.
We would warn that there are many ways to appreciate a company and, just like the DCF, every technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. For those who are sharp students of Equity Analysis, it can simply be something interesting here.
Trump has promised to “unleash” American oil and gas and gas and these 15 US shares have developments that are ready to take advantage.
We use what is known as a 2-phase model, which simply means that we have two different periods of growth rates for the cash flows of the company. In general, the first phase is a higher growth, and the second phase is a lower growth phase. In the first phase we have to estimate the cash flows to the company in the next ten years. Where possible we use estimates of analysts, but when they are not available, we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) of the latest estimate or reported value. We assume that companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow down their contraction, and that companies with a growing free cash flow will see their growth slowly during this period. We do this to indicate that growth tends to slow down more in the early years than in later years.
In general, we assume that a dollar is more valuable today than a dollar in the future, so we need the sum of these future cash flows to arrive at an estimate of the current value:

(“Est” = FCF growth speed estimated by simply Wall St) The current value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = € 208m
The second phase is also known as terminal value, this is the cash flow of the company after the first phase. For a number of reasons, a very conservative growth rate is used that is no greater than that of the GDP growth of a country. In this case we used the 5-year average of the 10-year return of the government bonds (1.3%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year ‘growth period, we consider future cash flows to the value of today, with the help of equity of 6.4%.
Current value of terminal value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + R)10= € 890m ÷ (1 + 6.4%)10= € 479M
The total value, or stock value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is € 687 million. In the last step we divide the share value through the number of outstanding shares. Compared to the current share price of € 29.3, the company seems to be quite undervalued with a discount of 34% to where the stock price is currently trading. However, do not forget that this is only an estimated appreciation, and like any complex formula – waste in it, waste out.
Xtra: Psan Discounted Cash Flow June 19, 2025
We would point out that the most important input for a discount with a discount is the disconeration foot and of course the actual cash flows. If you do not agree with this result, try the calculation yourself and play with the assumptions. The DCF also does not take into account the possible cyclicity of an industry, or the future capital requirements of a company, so it does not give a complete picture of the potential performance of a company. Since we regard PSI software as potential shareholders, the costs of equity are used as the disconeration rate, instead of the capital costs (or weighted average capital costs, WACC) that are debts. In this calculation we have used 6.4%, which is based on a delivered beta of 1,182. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a share compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the sector average beta from worldwide comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable reach for a stable company.

Although the appreciation of a company is important, this should not be the only statistics that you look at when investigating a company. It is not possible to obtain a watertight rating with a DCF model. It should be seen earlier as a guide for “what assumptions should be true that this stock is under/overvalued?” If a company with a different rate grows, or if the costs of equity or risk -free speed changes considerably, the output can look very different. Can we find out why the company acts with a discount on intrinsic value? For PSI software we have compiled three fundamental items that you must investigate further:
