Approach 1: Brookfield Infrastructure Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a stock could be worth by projecting the cash the business might generate in the future and discounting those cash flows back to today’s value.

For Brookfield Infrastructure, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach based on its last twelve months free cash flow of about $244.7 million. Simply Wall St then applies a series of annual adjustments to estimate cash flows out to 2035, with figures such as an estimated $231.6 million in 2026 and $260.6 million in 2035. Analysts typically publish detailed forecasts for only a few years ahead, so the later years in this model are extrapolated using the earlier trends.

Bringing all those projected cash flows back to today, the DCF model suggests an intrinsic value of about $30.90 per share for Brookfield Infrastructure. Compared with the recent share price of roughly $41.31, this indicates the stock is trading at a premium, with the DCF implying it is about 33.7% overvalued.

Result: OVERVALUED

Approach 2: Brookfield Infrastructure Price vs Sales

For a company like Brookfield Infrastructure, where sales are a key driver and earnings can be affected by non cash items, the P/S ratio is a useful way to think about what you are paying for each dollar of revenue.

In general, higher expected growth and lower perceived risk can justify a higher “normal” or “fair” P/S ratio, while slower expected growth or higher risk can point to a lower multiple being more reasonable.

Brookfield Infrastructure currently trades on a P/S ratio of 1.40x. That sits above the Gas Utilities industry average P/S of 0.91x, but below the peer group average of 2.39x. Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary “Fair Ratio” of 3.98x for Brookfield Infrastructure, which reflects factors such as earnings growth, profit margins, industry, market value and company specific risks.

This Fair Ratio can be more useful than a simple comparison with peers or the industry, because it attempts to tailor the multiple to Brookfield Infrastructure’s own characteristics rather than assuming it should look like an average company.

Comparing the current P/S of 1.40x with the Fair Ratio of 3.98x indicates that the stock is trading below that Fair Ratio based view.

Result: UNDERVALUED
