Abstract—An investment advice report for the company
Airbus is presented in this document. The Free Cash Flow (FCF)
model was the approach that carrying out this research. Various
technologies provide Airbus with higher external value, while
FCF brings Airbus with internal value. The report forecasts the
next four years based on the analysis of the economic data of the
previous four years. To make a prediction, the external value
factors of the aircraft industry operated by Airbus are found. In
addition, the FCF variable was evaluated, and the results
showed that as of December 31, 2021, the equity value was 8.8
million, and in Weighted Average Cost of Capital , growth
would affect the company's value and value of equity per share.
This study also provides a scenario analysis that illustrates two
scenarios: bullish and bearish, and their relative impact on the
company's value and equity value. Then, the price earnings ratio,
EV / EBIT, are used for comparative evaluation. The results
show that Airbus is undervalued compared to its competitors.
This study points out that the results of FCF method and relative
valuation method can provide reference to investment
recommendations of persons and institutions.
