To support a price of $142.81, this model requires Stage 1 FCFF to grow by 28.95%/yr over the next 5 years, compounded annually.
Historical FCFF grew by 4.07%/yr over the past 10 years. The required annual growth rate is 24.88 percentage points higher.

Stage 1 growth is solved while Stage 2 growth, terminal growth, discount inputs, and annual overrides remain fixed. This is a model-implied requirement, not an analyst forecast.

Base scenario
This estimate is 68.12% below the price used.
FCFF base normalized by replacing latest capex with the company's trailing median capex-to-revenue ratio.
Historical FCFF CAGR and the default growth rates are taken from the raw historical series. The valuation base is normalized for the current-period DCF.
Stage 1 4.07% · Stage 2 3.5% · Discount rate 11.06%
Assumption scenarios, not statistical confidence intervals.
Estimated from future free cash flow, discounted to its value today.
FCFF is positive, but the year-to-year swings are too large for a direct CAGR. Normalize the cash-flow base first, then run DCF.
Is FCFF positive and has it been for 3+ consecutive years? 6 consecutive positive FCFF years are available.
Is FCFF stable (not swinging >30% year to year)? The largest recent FCFF swing is 65.7%.
JCI
Price vs Fundamentals
The stock rose 32.48% over the last year. Revenue grew 6.81% over the trailing twelve months. Operating margin moved from 12.36% to 13.9%. Free cash flow declined 30.97% over the trailing twelve months.
The stock is trading toward the richer end of its historical P/FCF range (78th percentile) while business metrics are improving. More of the upside is already embedded in the multiple now.
Operating margin is at 13.9% — continued expansion would be needed to justify the premium. Revenue growth of 6.81% is encouraging, but any deceleration puts the stretched multiple at risk. This read changes if revenue, margins, and cash flow continue to improve faster than expected — in that case the richer multiple could still prove conservative.

Analysis
Strong dividend growth rate
The 5-year CAGR of 8.17% meaningfully outpaces inflation, compounding real income growth for long-term holders.
Dividend exceeds free cash flow
Free cash flow covers only 0.99× the dividend. The company is paying out more than it generates in cash, which is unsustainable without borrowing or asset sales.
