Approach 1: CACI International Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a stock could be worth by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting those amounts back to today, reflecting the time value of money and risk.

For CACI International, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month Free Cash Flow is about $586.24 million. Analyst and extrapolated projections used in the model range from $724.42 million in 2026 to $1,530.83 million in 2035, with $1,027 million projected for 2029. Simply Wall St notes that analysts typically provide forecasts for up to 5 years, and cash flows beyond that are extrapolated.

After discounting these projected cash flows, the model arrives at an estimated intrinsic value of about $989.29 per share. Compared with the current share price of around $513.51, the DCF output suggests CACI International stock is 48.1% undervalued according to this methodology.

Approach 2: CACI International Price vs Earnings

For profitable companies, the P/E ratio is a useful way to link what you pay for the stock to the earnings the business is generating today. It quickly shows how many dollars investors are currently willing to pay for each dollar of earnings.

What counts as a "normal" P/E depends on how quickly earnings are expected to grow and how risky those earnings are. Higher expected growth or lower perceived risk can justify a higher P/E, while slower growth or higher risk often lines up with a lower P/E.

CACI International is currently on a P/E of 21.13x. That sits above both the Professional Services industry average of 19.59x and the peer average of 19.18x, which suggests the stock trades at a higher earnings multiple than many comparable companies.

Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary "Fair Ratio" of 22.08x for CACI International. This metric aims to capture what P/E might make sense given the company’s earnings growth profile, industry, profit margins, market cap and risk factors. Because it is tailored to the company, it can be more informative than a simple comparison with peers or the industry.

With the current P/E of 21.13x sitting slightly below the Fair Ratio of 22.08x, the stock screens as modestly undervalued on this metric.

Result: UNDERVALUED
