Wal-Mart is the largest retailer in the world with more than $400 billion in annual revenue and fast approaching 10,000 stores across the globe.

Estimated WACC for the firm today is 6.09% using the Capital Asset Pricing Model and the company's recent SEC filings.
Recent free cash flows and noted growth rates:
Average Annual Growth FCF: ~ 26%
CAGR FCF: ~ 15%
Consensus Forecast Industry 5-Year Growth: ~ 14% per year
Consensus Forecast Company 5-Year Growth: ~ 9% per year
Internal Growth Rate: ~ 6%
Sustainable Growth Rate: ~ 18%
Scenario 1
Discounted Cash Flow Valuation
The firm's future cash flows, discounted at a WACC of 6.09%, give a present value for the entire firm (Debt + Equity) of $278429 million. If the firm's fair value of debt is estimated at $53043 million, then the fair value of the firm's equity could be $225386 million. $225386 million / 3430 million outstanding shares is approximately $66 per share and a 20% margin of safety is $53/share.
Scenario 2
